Aulani

 We had our second official staycation at the Aulani hotel, where we stayed overnight with the Hew family, Uncle Alika, Aunty Brittany, and Uncle Maikai.  It was a fun filled weekend as we arrived at the hotel at 10am, went to our "villa" to check it out and get settled, then headed to the pools.  Previously, we thought Callie might not be as "into" the water as her big sister, but this weekend disproved that theory, as Callie was loving every minute of the pools and water fountains.  We'll definitely be going back there, in fact, we already have our next staycation planned for May with the Yamashitas

Karate

Recently, Sadie attended a trial karate class with her cousin Chase.  Although there was not much "karate" going on, the kids did do some exercises such as: bear crawls, duck walks, sprints, and a game where the the sensei's belt was a "snake" and the children were to jump as it came near them.   They also practiced bowing, and some kicking and punching.  Overall, it seemed she enjoyed her self and on the way home we had the following dialog:

Me: Did you like karate?
Sadie: Yeah I liked it
Me: Did you have fun at karate?
Sadie: Yes I did
Me: Do you want mommy to sign you up so you can go again?
Sadie: No, I don't want to go again
Me: Why don't you want to go again? I thought you had fun….
Sadie: I don't want to go again cuz my feet going get all dirty again

Hahaha! I wonder where she gets her fear of "dirtiness" from?! :)
