The flight was great, everyone enjoyed a snack pack from the food cart and since Brad is an MVP Gold we also had a drink. Movies were watched, books and magazines were read and then it was time to land. Look how excited everyone was when we got off into a nice warm breeze and warm temperatures. After the winter (and spring) we'd had on the East Coast this was very welcome, even from the American Girl doll.
Once we were settled at the house we had to wait to see our friends the Jensen's and their girlies since they were arriving later on another flight. So, we all went out to dinner at the Fairmont Hotel and ate on the beach while we waited. It was a beautiful night and we saw a few turtles hanging out on the protected part of the beach.
Finally we were all together and could really enjoy Spring Break! It turned out we were the drivers of the 9 year olds as well as their 'girls'. Here are a few scenes from our back seat throughout the week. Oh and please keep in mind we were constantly reminded of the temperature, music on the radio (we may have been singing too much 70's and 80's hits) and to turn up or turn down both.
Kanani and her new friend, Marie were actually really well behaved. They didn't drink while playing cards nor did they gamble on cards either. Sitting with their legs together wasn't easy but all in all they did alright. I think the 9 year olds were a very good influence on them. Here are more scenes from our Spring Break in Hawaii trip via the American Girl dolls.
Here we all were at Mountain Thunder Coffee Plantation where we enjoyed a tour and a tasting of local grown Kona coffee. We also bought some coffee that has been enjoyed on the weekends in our French coffee press. The girls at the pool. They didn't want to get in, for fear their beautiful hair do's would be ruined but they did always remember to wear sun screen. Even if they kept sitting with their legs apart!!
On the last day we swam early and also had time to enjoy a little hot tub time. It was a beautiful morning and not too much of a breeze. As you can see not only were the American Girls inseparable but so were the 9 year olds.
Okay there was one night the adults went out to a nice dinner and we came home to see Kanani on the kitchen counter. I guess she got a little wild and crazy while we were gone!! That Kanani! At least on this trip to Hawaii she wore her seat belt in the car and we didn't find her with mini umbrellas in her hair!!
The Buswell's and Jensen's had a great time in Kona, Hawaii just like the American Girls. We can't wait to get together for another fun adventure!!
