Happy 4th Birthday, Kolby!

Kolby is a happy-go-lucky 4-year old whose current love is Star Wars.  He is very much into the movies and even the LEGO & Angry Birds versions.  His favorite character varies all the time, but we noticed that he gravitates towards characters with supporting roles...clone troopers, Boba Fett, Jango... Other examples: Sesame Street = Bert, Thomas the Train = Percy.  We are just so lucky that he is easy to please...no favorite color or food - just make it Star Wars and he is extra happy!

He is a very active 29.5 lb boy who has been asking about taking swim lessons since November.  We finally signed him up for class and he thinks he can swim already.  Too funny.

Kolby was lucky enough to celebrate his 4th birthday twice - at Chuck E Cheese's and at Aulani.

His favorite ride at CEC.

Do you see a hidden Mickey on the bed?

A really cool water ring (bubble?) made for Kolby as we watched the fish at the Rainbow Reef. [Not the Mickey Mouse ones - that would be even cooler!]

Mmm!  Mickey and Stitch waffles!

We were fortunate enough to meet all the characters and have Grandma & Grandpa HokuMele join us on this fun-filled weekend. Kaysen was very interested in all the characters (as you can tell....), but at least he didn't cry!

Kolby's special dessert - a banana milkshake and a Mickey Mouse mousse sandwich along with his complimentary birthday cake. 

 Kolby really enjoyed use of the Menehune Bridge where it's exclusive to keiki 48" and under.

Kolby swam and swam and swam... He loved to go down the lazy river as he doggy-paddled alongside my tube.  He even loved to go down the big slide with the inner tube.  You could hear Kolby scream and yell, "Where are we going?" and "See ya later, babes."  

Unfortunately, the rainy & windy weather cut into our swimming time, but Kolby enjoyed a couple of mugs of hot cocoa.
 We also played for a little while at Aunty's Beach House.  Even Kaysen got to participate in a Diaper Derby and won an Aulani bib.  

It was an exhausting weekend, but so much fun!  Kolby said, "When Kaysen gets bigger, we have to go back to Aulani."  Can't wait!
