RESTAURANTS:
Java Kai - great breakfast, but don't order eggs; pastries

Lappert's - not as good as Pink's
Bubba's Burger - average
Mediterranean Gourmet - great food (Gyros), dated interior, poor service, great ocean views (right on water)
Hukilau Lanai - great seafood, somewhat pricy, on water, worth the price, order "Mixed Grill", skip the Lobster Bisque
Shave Ice Paradise - best shave ice texture, most expensive, smallest serving
Fish Express - don't eat here, unless you are getting the poke; great for buying fresh fish to take home and grill
Gaylord's - yummy food, great atmosphere, excellent service; make reservation after 6:30 in order to enjoy the live music
Kalapaki Beach Hut - by the airport; really good burgers and amazing taro fries; serve lunch all day (which was awesome bc we arrived on the islandat 9:30am and were starving for something other than breakfast)

JAKE
Jake always has a sword in his hand these days. He loves Captain Hook and Peter Pan-- he is planning to be Captain Hook for Halloween!
When jake wants to count something he says "two ones, and two ones." And that's as far as he gets.
Jake uses MINE in place of MY. When he asks someone to come over he says, "you want to come to mine house?" It's adorable.
Grandma taught Jake the happy baby pose in yoga. He loves to ask everyone if they will do happy baby with him! He thinks it's hysterical.
When he gets off the buss each day he holds my hand as we walk to the house and talk about his day. I always squeeze his hand twice, then he squeezes back twice. When we get inside, we sit down by the front door on the floor and he shows me what is in his backpack. Everyday he says "I DRAW! TA-DA!" There is no way to articulate the love I feel for this boy when he does this! I would love to find a way to NEVER forget these moments. Love being a mom.
