Kaleikini Family Photo Journal: 2013

We are enjoying the cooler weather, football, and had a blast on our family vacation to Disney World...can't wait to go back! :)

The weather is cooling off, so we had breakfast on the lanai...with Mickey friends!

Malia's new thing is waving and smiling when she sees the flash (so get used to seeing her with no hands)!

Eating a special treat for having good behavior.

Our breakfast entertainment before church :)

Joey was on his way to the FSU-Miami game, so we went to O'Brien's to watch the Buckeyes play with our friends. Malia is finally letting me put hair bows in her hair again! Yesssss!

Watching the FSU-Miami game with the Taylors and Pattersons.

Love these kiddos and how good they play together!

Malia is missing her hand again...

And Koa found some puppies to take care of.

We had a great time watching football and hanging out with our friends (even though we missed Daddy)!

Cooled off enough for big brother's shirt and football leggings (but not socks and shoes, apparently)!

Gave Koa a pencil and toy catalogue...hilarious to see what he circled!

And this one was trying to pick toys up off the page with her little pinchers!

Look at my new boots, Dada!

Wearing brother's camo hat...and a skirt!

Ready to wear her new boots!

Koa's imagination at work...

Koa had a double header due to the rain the previous Saturday...apparently it was too much for three year olds! They sure made the bench look fun though!

We had an amazing time at Disney...Saturday afternoon through Tuesday afternoon. We stayed at a great place called Mystic Dunes (thank you travelzoo). The kids had their own bedroom and bathroom, we had a full kitchen (great for making breakfast each morning), and screened lanai with separate dining area where we enjoyed those awesome breakfasts (thank you, Daddy), and one more awesome feature you will see in our pictures! The parks were great and we made it to all four--the kids loved the shows and meeting Tinker Bell along with Mickey and Minnie (well, Malia probably could have done without the characters)!

Magic Kingdom on Saturday

We got to see the fireworks...Koa loves that part!

Our first morning there, we got to watch a bunch of hot air balloons outside our condo!

Sunday, we went to Hollywood Studios and saw Beauty and the Beast (Malia may have slept through some of it)!

Then, we made it to Epcot for naptime for the kiddos while we enjoyed a beer from the Food and Wine Festival.

The kids loved looking at the aquarium after the Nemo ride!

Funny that Joey and I went scuba diving in that tank with the sharks before we had the kids! You can see the Mickey Mouse made with rocks and a shark swimming by.

Back to Magic Kingdom on Monday...bright and early.

With our Peter Pan and Tinker Bell!

Koa finally meets Tinker Bell. He told me he was going to ask her for some pixie dust to give to Malia.

As we were on our way out, Koa took my phone and started taking his own pictures of Tinker Bell. This is the awkward moment that we are trying to take the camera from him so she can stop posing and move on to the next kid! Hilarious!

And they are out!

We picked up lunch on the way back to the condo and were able to hang out at the pool while they slept in the stroller for quite some time.

This girl loves her ketchup!

Nice, squat, kiddo!

This is where Koa found his lizard friend, Piggy. (That's what he named it.)

"He's lookin at me!"

The temperature started dropping and they were so cold...

sooo....

we took them back to the room and Joey and I got in the hot tub in our swim suits with them and let them play in the jets! So much fun...and decided to take them back to Epcot for more fireworks and dinner!
