Hawaii Day 10: "Zip" sliding away, "Zip" sliding away!
















The day officially started at 7am, although Mommy says her day started at 2:20am, and then again at 3:45am, and then "he stayed awake from 5:29am on"! (Okay, we get the point!)

Daddy and Uncle Steve convinced a reluctant Mommy to join them on a ziplining adventure on the grounds of a former sugar plantation. Mommy was an old pro after the third zip. Her last two jumps were done in an impressive Superman style. She swears to return for the 3000' line currently in the works.

After our adrenaline rush, we headed back to the beach for some R&R. Yes, R&R, because Brady and Cash were with Boompa and Grandma. Daddy managed to sneak two Lava Flows down Mommy, who soon couldn't remember if her second son was Amex or Visa!

We rented a boogie board and watched Daddy bang up some killer waves before returning to check on the kids. Brady had been napping for a couple of hours beachside while Cash went with Grandma on an "adventure." Brady showed us how to make "mud" on the beach and raced the waves once again. Mommy let Cash come out and play in the sand and boy, did he have a time!

After all that excitement, Brady wanted to "chill" in the hot tub. Brady sat with his new "friend" Emily. She gave him a sweet hug and helped wipe sand from his face. Brady responded by lifting his shoulder to his chin each time she spoke to him (the gesture he makes when he's really happy).

We ended the night with Italian cuisine. Brady had the traditional cheeseburger topped with crackers (a joke to be explained later to those that care). Everyone else had "ham", which would be Cash. He was great, smiling throughout dinner and walking back to the room (approximately 125 yards--with Mommy by his side, of course).

Oh, did I mention that Daddy was asking for kisses on the beach from Cash and Cash was dispensing them like an ATM. Mommy's jaw dropped in disbelief. "Cash why don't you give Mommy kisses like that?"..... after which she asked Daddy to Purell my lips and cheeks for him to kiss again!
