We Had a Mele Kalikimaka
Jan 2nd, 2009 by Anna
Brian and I spent Christmas in Kauai with the kids, Brian’s mom, brother, & Turtle. Our water babies were able to splash and play in the ocean every day of our visit and that is really why people brave the 5 hour flight out there, right? They also chased chickens, built sand castles, ate shave ice, drank from a coconut, slid down the pool slide, and were spoiled rotten by their grandma, aunt, & uncle (Laurel learned how to say “Matt”).
Brian and I had a blast, too. The ultimate experience came on our last afternoon on the beach. We went out with Matt & Turtle for one last snorkel when we spotted a sea turtle. Brian saw it first and popped up to say “Turtle! Turtle!” and Turtle said, “What?! “What?!” and Brian was all “No a SEA TURTLE!” We followed the big guy around for a few minutes when the sky opened up in a downpour. We dashed back to the beach and collected the kids and all of our stuff completely exhilarated and satisfied.

What a perfect Christmas! So cute.
