Post Hawaii









Guess who's back? Yes, thank goodness it's not Mommy....yet. We don't need to get back to reality….. just yet. There’s still time for a bit more fun before our Hawaiian vacation comes to an end. We went back to the Queen’s Bath on our last day – this time with Mommy and the kids. Let's just say it had rained a bit there since our previous visit. So whatever color our shoes were, they are now red (from the rich soiled dirt). Ditto for our white Sunday best – all a bit red. (Especially Mommy's backside!)

Next stop: lunch at Bubba’s Burgers. (Brady stole Mommy's shake so Daddy went back for one more.) With all the burgers, cheese fries, and chocolate shakes, we were well prepared to play “beached whales” back at the hotel. Brady made more “mud pies” and surfed with Daddy. We all enjoyed the beach – Cash even more so. (We couldn’t stop him from eating the sand!) Then a dip in the pool and of course the hot tub.

Pig Pen, Pig Pen Jr., Mommy and Daddy hurriedly packed before a quick shower. We had six minutes to spare when we reached our flight. Brady slept the majority of the way; Cash peed on Mommy 20 minutes into the flight then fell fast asleep. Mommy took one for the team and sat wet for the duration of the flight (7 hours). She didn’t retaliate by relieving herself on Cash (which she needed to do at the 25 minute mark). All in all a good flight for at least 3 of us.

We landed and Brady was most worried about going to reclaim "Super Spiderman", his favorite action figure. Cash just grinned.

From Aloha, to getting leid, to pirate island, to chickens, to paparazzi, to my "swavorite pool", to my "swavorite circle pool", to JonandKateplus8, to our 19-year-old chef, to Brady getting out of the pool and peeing in his shorts next to the trash can so Mommy didn't have to take him to the bathroom -- an incident that was not allowed to appear in the blog (see below), to mud pies, to a mai tai (or two or three or ....), to waterfalls, to the hot tub, to zip lining, to Cash kisses to Daddy, and of course to all of Cash and Brady’s matching FREAKING outfits, I hope everyone enjoyed our written version of the trip as much as we did living it. We had a great time, but now it’s back to the real world. With this Daddy bids you all adieu as the blog is turned back to Mommy’s hands.

There are, of course, personal reasons for this decision. “Your blogs are too long” was a common complaint. Daddy’s colorful language often got neutered in Mommy’s editing process (she felt that readers might be offended by the “D” word). There were even disputes as to which pictures were in fact “blogworthy” – not to mention the fact that some events were edited out of the blog entirely. Fear not, dear readers. Daddy has promised to “guest blog” on a periodic basis. We can still look forward to some of Daddy’s brilliant snapshots and seasonal live web shows. (Well, Daddy’s just kidding about the last one –unless, of course, there are enough fan requests.) Good night moon, good night stars, goodnight air, goodnight noises everywhere.
