labor day picnic

It's Labor Day and as per usual, we headed out to Ala Moana beach park for the Pearlridge Ward's annual Labor Day picnic.

We can always expect a fun time playing in the sun and eating some yummy food!

The kids commandeered our friend, the Baclaans, hammock.  

It was very nice of Derick and his family to let the kids swing and play.  Which they did. 

 Who wouldn't?!

 Jojo and Luke pretty much hung out together the entire time.  

And I promise, that's a lollipop in Luke's mouth, despite how he's holding the stick!  oy!

 Kaden got to try his very first taste of a lollipop...which he did not like.  

Whew!  One less cavity-maker in the house!

 Luke and Jolee in the water.  It was a beautiful day!

 Kaden loves the water.  And we love this beach because the water is shallow enough for the little ones to play safely.

 After the beach, it was time for some shave ice!  We always bust out the shave ice machine and the kids (and adults) love it!

 Perfect way to cool off on a HOT day!

Oh, and watermelon.  

This kid could eat watermelon all day long!

Mitch took Anna fishing for a few minutes after all the picnic hooplah and she caught a few fish!  Lucky girl!

This was how EVERYONE felt at the end of the day!

What a great way to spend a holiday celebrating all the hard work Daddy does for us every day!
