Autumn & Kalina

It’s our last full day in Hawaii.  Grandma wanted to try a place called Tip Top Cafe.  The pancakes were yummy.  I sat really close to Grandpa though.  Right after we sat down a bug crawled up on the chair.  Grandpa swatted it away, but I didn’t want to move over after that!

There was more beach and pool time today.  Mom didn’t bother really taking any pictures.  Our days kinda go like: eat breakfast, go down to the beach/pool, spend 4-5 hours there, then go up to the room for showers and hang out until we leave for dinner.  Eat dinner, have dessert, go back to the hotel, play and then go to bed.  Wake up and repeat.

Tonight we had dinner at Lava Lava Cafe.  You sit in table that are on the sand!

The ocean was right there too!

While we ate there was live music and a lady who danced the hula.  Bryce stood and watched her without blinking!  (Can you see him?)

We had so much fun watching and she thought we were really cute so they did an impromptu hula lesson.  Bryce tried for a little bit, but then he got shy.

The dance was the hukilau.  We had learned it at our hula class at the hotel!

Bryce was pretending Autumn was his baby and he was holding her.

Just a little beach picture.

Sister time!

Today we took a walk down the path the the Beach Hut for breakfast.  Eggs, bacon, and hash browns for Autumn and sweet bread french toast for me.

Grandpa went for the loco moco.

After breakfast we headed back to the hotel for beach and pool time.  These last few days I spent a lot of time with Grandpa at the pool while Autumn hung out with Bryce and Ry at the beach.  Have I ever told you Autumn really hates the sand on her feet?  Well, she does. But today, she let uncle Jeffrey bury her!

She even liked it!  A little bucket head.

Or bucket…

After Ry had a turn being buried, then they both went off to the ocean to rinse off.

For dinner we went to Keoki’s in Poipu.  The adults said it was good, but it wasn’t Roy’s.  We hit Uncle’s Shave Ice and Lappert’s for dessert after.

A Poipu sunset.

Mom tried to go to bed last night and she found Autumn sleeping across the whole bd with her head hanging off!

Today we started off the morning at the koi feeding in the lobby garden.  There are at least 300 koi in the pond and if you go at 9am, you can feed them!

While we were waiting for them to start Mom wandered over and saw someone trimming a tree.

Here go the crazy fish!

Feeding the fish.  It looks like dog food.

We went up to the small area where the “old/big fish” live.  When they get to big, they move them to another area where they don’t have to compete as much for food.

I asked for an extra cup so we got to feed more fish.

By the end I even got brave enough to touch one.  This was me trying.

This was me being successful!

After the fish feeding we got ready for the pool and beach.  I started at the pool with Grandpa and Mom and Autumn went down to the beach.

At 11:30 they were doing tattoos and then at 12 we went up to do the shell frame craft.

All finished!

Then we headed back to the pool.  Mom thinks Autumn is working on being a local.  She’s getting supper tan and walking around with no shoes!

I floated around on this float for awhile.

Mom took a picture of her view when she looked up in her chair.

I helped carry the turtle up to the room.  It’s tough when it’s bigger than you!
