We are so lucky to have been able to spend Thanksgiving on the island of Kauai. Matty's parents took the whole family...what a treat! Although Matty and I would LOVE to see all of the awesome waterfalls and gorgeous scenery...we mostly headed to the beaches and chilled at the pool. We stayed in Kapaa at a nice resort, which is in between our favorite spots (Hanalei and Poipu).
We also got to spend some time with a friend of Matty's from high school (Ginger) and her family. We spent an afternoon in Hanalei with them and the kids all had a blast.
I think the best highlight of the trip was watching Kaden get up surfing...and really enjoy it! Matty would push him into the wave and Josh would help get him back out (although he actually enjoyed paddling). I was so glad to have our new camera that actually takes pictures when you want it to...so I got some good ones.
Both kids LOVED our hotel. Whether it was pushing the elevator buttons, the buttons to get into the condo, feeding the Koi at 9am, or enjoying the pool and water slides, they were happy. So, minus Cassidy's major case of mommyitis...the trip was easy and fun.
Now, I mentioned that Kaden loved surfing...but he also LOVED boogie boarding. We ended up buying one there and Matty finagled its way to be GATE CHECKED (like a stroller). Kaden was glad to bring home that souvenir.
As for Little Miss Cass, she played in the sand ALL DAY. EVERY DAY! Matty was great with her at the pool and he actually got her going down the water slide by herself...as long as we caught her at the bottom.
As for Matty and I, it was just so fun being with the kids and family doing some
R and R. So thank you Chick and Mona for a wonderful vacation!
