end of break

 

although we mostly wanted to sit in a dark room and cry that grandma left, we forced ourselves outside to enjoy the last few days of spring break in kona. we talked a big talk that we were going to try some new beaches or take a hike, but the truth is we didn't go anywhere. the kids are so happy and easy in the pool, it's hard to disrupt that. if marin has her life jacket on we can even sit back and relax...what?! it's awesome. so we hung out with our little fish before we headed back the routine and chaos. 

 

wait a second. coen and i did go on a plumeria hunt. he loves these flowers and we walked and walked collecting ones that had fallen on the ground.

isn't he purty?

 

more swimming!

one last stop at the  kona brewing company on our way back to hilo. 

kona break

we have just returned home from a week on the sunny side. it was the longest we have spent in kona, and also the first time we have stayed right smack in town. we had a blast, obviously. here is a look at what we did.

 

so much pool time. marin has not one once of fear in her little body. none.

 

 

lunch break nap and walk thru town.

dinner at kona brewing company.

beaching it at king kam beach.

more pool time, and more beaching.

sunset silliness with this guy.

hey mom, do you want to come on my airplane? love wings!

 morning of departure...more pool and coffee with whip.
