Why do vacations have to come to an end??? Day 8 was our final day on Oahu. I remember seeing people leaving to go home when we first arrived and now we were the couple leaving. We were sad but also excited for all the fun we had and to see our little buddies at home. 8 Days was a perfect length I think. We did everything we wanted to do and more and it was just getting to the point where I was really missing the kids. Our bus for the airport wasn't picking us up until 11am so we had time to do our morning routine and enjoy the pool one last morning. The weather all week was perfect we had lots of sun and a few showers but as I said before they were planning for a hurricane and sure enough the winds started picking up right as we were leaving so it was prefect timing to be going home.
When we got on the bus to go home another family with older kids jumped on. One of the sons had basketball shorts on that said Sonora (where my parents live) so that sparked up a conversation for our whole drive to the airport.
At the airport we grabbed a little lunch and then boarded the plane. We had another great flight. We were having trouble with our seats not reclining at first and so the flight attendant gave us free movies and shows on our little TV's. That was super cool! Plus we ended up getting the chairs to work half way through. I got to watch 50 First Dates and Spencer watched Pitch Perfect. They served us dinner and then we finally landed in Oakland at 9:30pm. Since it only felt like 6:30pm to us and we wanted so bad to see our babies we just got our car at Spencer's parents and then headed for Sonora. It was a 2 hour drive so we arrived up there around 1am. It was so worth it! When we got there Aubrey woke up half way and gave us a big hug and we gave her one of her gifts, silver turtle earrings. Carter was pretty out of it but we did give him a hug. Deuce was so excited. It was almost at first he was like who are you and then he smelt my leg and went crazy it was really cute. We then got in bed and crashed.
When we stay at my parents they have a downstairs suite that is basically our one little place with a queen bed and then a pull out sofa. My parents had put them on the sofa bed that night so they could wake up and be with us in the morning. At around 7am I heard their little voices saying the cutest little things like, "they are back" "I can't wait for them to wake up" "I'm so happy they are home" It was seriously the cutest!!! We woke up and held them so tight and all cuddled in bed for like an hour talking and laughing. I didn't want to let go of them!! Then it was time to give them all the gifts we got them.
They were so excited and loved everything. It was so cute because they wanted to wear all the Hawaiian gear for about 2 weeks after we got home. Aubrey wore her lei for 3 days every where we went and Carter still wants to bring his ukulele every where we go.
Like I said before we have mastered the Acai bowls and are enjoying them all the time. The kids love them too. It's nice to have one and think about our mornings on the island.
Aloha Hawaii until we meet again!!
Hopefully sooner then later!
Carter has already request his 7th birthday to be zip lining in Hawaii (you have to be 7 to zip there).
