Anniversary fun at the Waikoloa Hilton

Mike and I celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary by staying a night down at the Waikoloa Hilton. Rhett sated with my friend Beth (and he behaved very well for his first time away from us over night, I must add) If you have never seen the Waikoloa Hilton (it's in the same resort area as our restaurants) you have to know that it is Ginormous! There are atleast a dozen pools, many of which are connected by slides. There are waterfalls with grotos underneath, hidden hot tubs and even a big lagoon for snorkeling and paddleboats. If you prefer not to walk the nearly 1 mile hike from one end to the other, you can hop aboard the tram or even the boat! Our close friend Sascia is an executive chef there at the hotel and he hooked us up with a beautiful suite for the evening! The next day Beth brought Rhett and her son down to meet us so we could all play in the pools... it was a great 2 days!!! Mike and I even went down the big water slides over and over like kids... we saved the little ones for Rhett ;) We highly recommend this hotel to any family coming to visit. You could stay here for a week straight and never run out of things to do!
My SuperMan!! Mike going down one of the baby waterslides.
My little man is getting so independent! He LOVED going down the slides by himself :)
Again and again...he didn't want to give us a break!

We watched people swim with the dolphins. There was a baby dolphin in another pool that was just born 10 days ago! This picture has the dolphin upside down/belly up and if you just glanced it kinda looks like a shark!
There was a baby pool with a sand bottom...
Rhett went down on Mike's lap the first time, but that wasn't nearly as fun as by himself!
