We spent the morning at Hapuna beach. The kids never really got sick of the sand, and sealife, and water. I think we saw turtles at every beach we visited but one. Such a great experience I hope they never forget. After the beach, we hit up the shave ice truck again. Just as delightful and refreshing.
Mallory and claire got chocolate cream.
Tyce had ice cream with a little of Jaren's rainbow.
And the rest of us had Strawberry Shortcake I think. Wowsers was it so good.
We ran to the mall to grab some last-minute souvenirs and then headed to Kua Bay to end the day. We wanted to catch a sunset when we weren't driving and just be able to take it all in. Aubrey and I ran to Costco for some pizza, and we just ate and enjoyed good company and the beautiful show mother nature put on.
So cute when I found Miss Haylie with her towel draped around her and Tyce. Then she asked if Tyce could have a sleepover when we got home. That girl is just such a doll.
Although we weren't quite ready to have this experience end, it was time. But not without a quick stop on our way to the airport by the "donkey crossing" sign. These signs provided endless conversation during all our hours in the car.
Maui in the distance.
You get to walk on the tarmac to get to the plane and enter from behind. Kinda neato.
Jaren was in no smiling mood to be leaving Hawaii.
Luckily his grumpy face didn't last long. I sat in the middle of Tyce and Jaren during the flight to San Diego. Tyce slept for 3 off the hours and Jaren was very well-behaved. Blessings from heaven!
One last look at the island. Awwww....
We had a 3-hour-layover in San Diego. Not the most fun ending to our journey but we survived. Some people made forts on the disgusting floor in between the airport seats to pass the time. So thankful we had this opportunity to experience such a place with our kids and friends. Memories for a lifetime.

Looks like a really great trip. I'm sure your kids WILL remember it for a lifetime. And what a blessing for them to have cousins and friends they are close enough with to create memories with.
