The Kearney Family: HAWAII, Round 2!

Why yes, I am typing a report for the court on this fine Sunday and I am procrastinating with the blog.... Whatever works! We just returned from another beach filled, sun kissed, FANTASTIC vacation to Hawaii... This time to Maui and it did not disappoint!!!

The morning started off with lots of adventure, Dolly teaching the kids inappropriate sayings, leaving her purse in the car (thank goodness we didn't take a cab) and a push through the Boise Airport.

The Pope is currently working on Ryan's application for sainthood... Stay tuned!

It was a motley crew aboard the Alaska Airlines!

And my 84 year old daughter the motliest of them all. The kids plugged into their devices and it was a super quiet ride. Except this old gal wasn't a fan of the technology and preferred to talk the entire trip.

And Ms. Mo mustache you a question?

They made a restaurant after her!

Waiting in PDX is hard, really hard....But at least they repped Seattle like pros!

Rental cars TAKE FOREVER!

But they had this waiting for them a short drive later and all was good in the world....

Ryan and I are incredibly proud of our amazing surfers! It was insane to see those little bodies pop up on the surf board and ride some waves! I rented a paddle board and I'm sure there was someone incredibly proud of my ability to eat it on every wave encountered. It's not as easy as it looks!

Look at that girl!!!!

Taking after her father. 7 a.m. and this is where the Kearney family could be found....

The sand castles this year were taken up a notch and villages were made!

This edible little bug!!

And sometimes I had to send photos to friends at work to let them know I was working hard too!!!!

Once again, sun up to sun down the Kearneys were in water.... It was absolutely surreal to see Morgan reliving my childhood in Maui, in the same pool, doing the exact same things.... So many great memories at this condo!

Food dye in shaved ice is completely organic, right? That blue coloring isn't food dye is it? "Vacation mommy," as I have been dubbed doesn't care so much about such matters....

Wild hair, don't care!

Reflections of a handsome surfer....

This picture doesn't capture the pool side wrassling that was happening....

Lots and lots of pool related shenanigans!

And dinner in the 116 every night... Dolly and Bob owned this condo and it's still a family staple!

Bathing beauts....

I love this threesome!

It was HOT the entire time we were there, mid to high 80's. So if you were looking for us, we were in the ocean!

Or gazing at the ocean...

Or snug as a bug in a rug, relaxing...

Or in the ocean!

Grandma helped us keep track of this little mad man....

There were a lot of insults written in the sand. The standard, "Morgan is little."

Toward the end of our vacation, we actually ventured down the road and went out for some meals. Traveling with food allergies is tricky, so once we find a place that accommodates us, we are the biggest fans! Luckily this place was a short walk for us....

THIS mommy loves THIS boy.....

Tricky, tricky....

Watch out Wimbledon, Kearney family is coming for YOU. Kidding, we are pretty bad at this sport.

A couple days before we came to Hawaii, the Seattle Seahawks played a game of football ON THIS BEACH. And a day after we left, there was a fatal shark attack closing this beach. Lots happening here people...

Reflecting man by the sea. Ryan apparently did a lot of reflecting this trip.

As did Morgan!

Look at these two!

Prepping for future modelling gigs...

Rock and shell hound this boy is.

More reflecting... This trip was literally the first in probably ever that Ryan did not have deal with some type of work crisis and spend every morning tied to his computer. HOORAY!
