Camas Comes to Hawai'i

So Camas and Matthias came to Hawai'i for a vacay-visit this past week. It was great to have them out here, and we had a blast staycationing with them!

Started out with some fun at the Sheraton pool downtown... I think. Can't remember which pool it was exactly. The girls brought their mermaid fins, but spent most of the time going down the slide...


as I did at least once as well (pictured after successfully disembarking the slide) 

It was fun, but I was feeling a touch queasy, so a little less playful than I might otherwise have been.


and hanging out in the hot tub with the Asian tourists,


while Matthias teased Roman. Or maybe Roman teased Matthias. It wasn't too clear. 


Matthias had to get back to work after a few days, but fortunately for us Camas had a bit more time, so we did what we could to make the most of it! Among other things, we made sure to visit turtle beach (Laniakae Beach I believe is the official name. North Shore, about 5 min past Hale'iwa depending on traffic). 

Xandri obviously loved Camas and showed it in her usual spider-monkey way. Please notice "Bok-bok" the Parrot Finger Puppet hiding behind Camas' neck there. 



Roman spent his time like a typical male, just walkin' around, checkin' stuff out (you know I'm rehearsing the Seinfeld skit in my head now...)


There were a few turtles on the beach that day, so it was definitely fun to see what they were up to. Typical turtle stuff, it turned out. Highly fascinating. 


We had such a great time at the Sheraton pool that we decided to hit it up again. This time Roman brought his truck:


and Camas brought my book:


A trip to Hawai'i isn't complete without the North Shore, Kailua and fresh fruit from the Dole Plantation. We hit all of those up. Kailua especially was a hit- as always!






Fantastic beach book. I'll vouch for that.


So glad my cuz came out for a visit, it was great to spend some quality time with you, Camas! Miss you already!
