poolside in kona

for my birthday i asked to go to a resort in kona and do nothing but sit by the pool. we planned the resort at the end of the visit so that it wouldn't be as much traveling back to back. kids never sleep good at hotels, it is just a genetic code for them to be too excited to sleep. but i just don't care when i am lunching poolside with a frozen drink. even if it is virgin, it's still blissful. we spent the entire day at the pool on monday, even insisting the boys nap in cabanas poolside. it was hard to wake up all hot and sweaty but some snacks and a cold drink brought them back to life. they didn't fly out till 9pm that night, so we even had time for the kona brewing company before we saw them off at the airport. 

it was so so so wonderful to have lauren, cortney and beckett visit us. i know it is quite a haul to come all the way to the middle of the pacific with a 1 year old, but we really appreciate it. we love showing people the island and giving them a glimpse at the season we are in right now. i don't think we will live in hawaii forever, but we live here now and might as well soak up all the fun and sun that we can. please come back sooooooon!

waikoloa get-away

over the weekend we had a one night get-away in waikoloa. this trip was part celebrating our 6th wedding anniversary, part experiencing fall, and part celebrating our recent goodbye to diapers. after a visit to the pumpkin patch we headed over to the resort to soak up some of the good stuff. sure, it's not very fall-like...but oh boy is it wonderful! 

coen is a little fishy in the water. 





wes is relaxing all cool...while keeping up on the recent seismic activity. 


who seems to be having the most fun in these pictures?! 






i think the answer is wes. although coen is having a decent time too. 


early morning beach time. why do toddlers always sleep horribly in hotel rooms?






when i ask coen who his best friend is he always says, "gianna and daddy!" 


we miss you gianna!


annnnd what i am? 



this boy can never get enough pool time. 





thank you warm sunshine, waving palms, and blue ocean...we'll miss you. 

oh wait, no we won't. we see you everyday. 

buuuuut, we do love us some resort time. it's real nice.
