Thursday was the first full day of our vacation. We woke up pretty early and headed down to breakfast with Grandpa, Mom, and Dad. By 7:30 we were at the pool and having some fun. After awhile we went down to the beach to play. This was the pool on the way to breakfast.
Grandpa brought our blow up turtle that he bought in Kauai last year. He started to blow it up, but the guys at the pool had a pump he could use so that he wouldn’t pass out.
This was us playing at the water with Auntie Caitlin.
We did lots of playing in the sand too. Grandpa would build up a mountain and we would knock it down.

Sometimes we would go down to the ocean and get water with him.
We headed back to the pool around 11ish for some more pool time. Then we had lunch at the pool and headed up to the room for nap time. After nap we headed into Kahului for dinner. We tried a place called Ramen Ya. Everyone had noodles and they were yummy! After a little walking around the mall the restaurant was in we headed back to the hotel. It was a long day!
Friday started with Autumn and Daddy going to the grocery store while Mom and I went to breakfast. On the way to breakfast we saw this snail with a fancy shell.
We wanted to go to the beach today so after breakfast we went up to change and headed for the beach. Grandpa played with us in the water. Later auntie Cait came to the water too. We played at the beach all morning, but mom forgot her camera. She says uncle Jeffrey has some pictures that she’ll add when she gets them from him.
Guess Jeffrey only had a couple of Autumn with Auntie Caitlin.
Towards the end of our beach time we all went and played in the water one more time. I got tired of it and went to play in the sand with Dad, but Mom and Autumn went out to play in the water more. Mom would hold Autumn and let her float over the waves and do a kind of “body surfing”. Except a HUGE wave came and they were in the wrong place. The wave knocked them down and made them go under water. When mom finally got them up again another big wave was coming. It knocked them down again. Autumn didn’t like getting tossed by a wave. She said that she didn’t like it. It was too dark. After that we all headed up to the pool.
When we were at the beach there was a family that was leaving that day. They gave their boogie board to us. We didn’t use it at the beach, but it was fun in the pool.
After pool time we had nap time. While we slept Mom went shopping to get new glasses since a fish now owned hers. Then a bunch of them went to rent snorkel geat in Kihei. On the way they saw a taco truck and stopped for a snack. When she came back she found out we had to change rooms. We switched to a room by grandma and grandpa and then headed down to listen to some hawaiian music from students at the University of Hawaii.
Dinner was at a place called MonkeyPot (don’t order the mac and cheese from the kids menu-it was so gross grandma barely swallowed her bite!) and we walked down to Lappert’s for come ice cream. Then it was back to the hotel for night nights. Tomorrow some adults are going snorkeling so we are going to hang out with grandma and daddy.
