Hawaii 2017 -day 8

This morning we slept till 9 since we had no little kids waking us up in the morning. Lola was that happy to sleep in that long but it probably helped her feel better and fight this cold. 

We ate breakfast at the condo. It sure was quiet... we miss our travel buddies. 

They arrived home and everyone slept pretty good on the plane.  Lola suggested they send a photo of them at home.... after nap they send us this.... land of ice and snow....not so much in Texas.  It was a great laugh, and nice to see that B was looking more like herself.

We headed down kannapli beach by foot me aa picked the next location of his snorkel adventures. Lola's cold prevents her from being effective in the water, so she sat on the beach. It was a great time and she even put her feet in the water.  

Oh and the slide was open today...

A quick lunch at the condo before heading to Lahaina for the afternoon.

In Lahaina we walked around did a bit of shopping And just enjoyed the weather and atmosphere. We even saw the sun a few times.

 

Headed back to the condo for supper, but first a snack....

Supper was grilled chicken and pineapple with rice and salad. Lola was excited to see some of a sunset this evening so headed to the beach to take photos while AA grilled. 

After supper we went to the hot tub since we had walked a lot today, and our legs were tired.  After the 3rd tub we finally found one that was hot. There we met a very chatty family from Vancouver. We talked and played truth or dare with their 5 year old. Then we got joined by a family from Utah that had 5 kids, aged 2-12.

After a nice soak and chat we headed back to make piña coladas and play some cribbage, Lola redeemed herself from the other night by winning best of three.  

Tomorrow is the last day in Maui, so we will see what we end up doing. Hoping the weather is like Today or better.

Hawaii 2017 - day 7

Today was a pretty relaxing day with not much planned.   We got up in the morning and had breakfast.  T had a meltdown because MBMell used the banana on his plate after changing his mind that he wanted a smoothie like the adults. Lola eventually spend some time away from the table with the mad kid, and he came back and ate the smoothie even though he really wanted the banana to reverse from the

After breakfast we got ready to head outside. It took us awhile before getting sunscreened and dressed and by that time I was a little rainy and cold.  The Twinkies sure didn't care, off to the swimming pool we went. They had a great time, and T even floated in his stomach with his face in the water.  The ladies weren't so impressed with the weather but were happy to see the kids and men having fun.

After swimming and running back in the rain, the kids enjoyed playing in the hotel in their towels. We got ready to go to Whalers Village for lunch. We had a great meal, and then headed to do a little shopping but not before stopping at the giant Christmas tree with a surf board in it for some family photos.

We did a little shopping then headed back to the hotel for a short photo shoot with the new outfits and naptown. And packing...

The Twinkies did awesome and the weather held out for the photos, only starting to rain as we headed back.  The afternoon the ladies packed the Twinkies slept and so did DD.


After nap, b wasn't feeling so hot, but like a trooper she is, she kept on trucking as we headed to Dukes for supper which was just at our hotel edge.  B sat near Lola and eventually ended up on her lap as she was not feeling well. Supper arrived and B didn't want anything to do with hers, so she stayed on Lola's lap. A few minutes later she threw up on Lola. Poor B.

Dd took b back to the room while the rest of us finished supper. We had a good time, and t enjoyed all the attention, and even got dessert (don't tell B).

On our way back we walked to the store to get B some anti nausea medication as it was only about 3 hours before their flight left. MBMell bought Lola a lava flow popsicle to help her feel better about the incident.  It was really good!

Once back we found out that B still wasn't doing well, but took the medication and began to feel a little better.  We packed up the rest of the odds and ends and headed to the airport.
It was a sad goodbye but Lola and AA dropped them off,  no tears just a few pouts.  They got on board with no incidents, so hopefully the Twinkies sleep on the red eye home.  Lola and aa traded in the Niason Quest for a ford fussian and headed back to the hotel.

We wish our travel buddies a safe and uneventful flight back home, and will miss them.  Lola is still not feeling the greatest but hopefully tomorrow she will continue to get better and hopefully be able to breathe more freely.

Night, Lola.

Hawaii 2017 - Day 6, Ka'anapali

Today started like most other days - breakfast at the condo.  We all got to sleep in to about 8am when the Twinkies finally awoke so we were well rested for a day full of activities.

After breakfast, we got into our swimming gear and made our way to the beach so we could play with the beach toys.  It took some time to find a good spot since the water was high (likely high tide) and the waves were big.  We finally found a good spot three hotels over.  We had a good time building sand castles, digging holes and wading into the waves (but not for long because the waves were pretty big).

After about an hour and a half on the beach, we packed up and went back to our condo for lunch.  Today's menu - pancakes, bacon and breakfast potatoes.  It was delicious.

Once cleaned up from lunch, the twinkies went for a nap and MBMell, Lola and AA went back to the beach while DD stayed at the condo, playing some video games.  At the beach, AA went snorkeling while the ladies sat on the beach, enjoying the sun and warm weather.  Snorkeling was ok, because of the waves, the water was a little murky and hard to see but still made for a good time.

Lola got stung by a bug - it hurt

The stinger

At around 3:30, the beach bums made their way back to the condo to wake up the kids and then go for a swim in the pool.  The wind had picked up a little and the sun was behind some clouds so it was cool outside the water.  Lola didn't want to come in because she knew she would get cold once out.

The kids had a great time - T loved swimming to the water falls and going inside the little coves behind them while B enjoyed playing on the pool stairs and with the handrail.

The afternoon swim was short - only about 30 mins as everyone was getting cold.  It was then a short 5 mins walk back to the condo and AA and MBMell made supper - spaghetti and salad.  Lola made some garlic bread as well.  Dinner was delicious!

During dinner, we had to pause while T went to the potty and was successful!  B later went to the potty and also was successful.  MBMell wants to keep Lola with her for another week to get the kids potty trained, AA said that was fine - hahaha.

After the twinkies were bathed and in bed, the adults stayed up - AA and DD played some video games while MBMell and Lola talked and worked on some things on the laptop.

We are a little sad that tomorrow is our last day together but will make the most of it.
