Trade winds a BLOWIN'!




Last night we had a great dinner at a cheeseburger place in the Wailea shopping center. Ella got this fun pineapple drink and drink umbrellas that entertained her almost the ENTIRE meal. She proclaimed it to be the BEST DINNER EVER! Was pretty fun in the eyes of a 3 year old!

We are all feeling pretty tired and still hackin'. Dales cold seems to be more bronchitis in nature. His back hurts from coughing so much. Hoping to have a miraculous recovery for him. I am feeling better and but Ella is about the same. Still has a pretty nasty cold. Every morning the Puddin is up at about 6am which makes it hard to get any additional winks in!

This morning was pretty cute as the birds started to chirp with the sun coming up (rises at 6). Ella was saying... "quiet birds! Stop chirping!" I enjoy the sound of the birds in the morning. It is a nice thing to wake up to. There is one type of bird that has a VERY loud kacoo in the morning, but we don't seem to have many of those around our unit, or it would be like waking up to a rooster outside your window. When the birds start singing, I get up and Sasa and I go for our walk along the boardwalk. It was slow going this morning... I was pretty tired. I may have to skip a morning or two while here or not do the whole boardwalk. I was waddling pretty good on our return home! ;0)

The beach this morning (about 9am) was GREAT! There are SOOOO many vacationers here for spring break. I can't say as though we have been here when so many folks have been on the beach. Ella had a great time digging holes, hunting for crabs and running up and down the beach. After the beach it was a short stint at the pool before meltdown and having to head back to the condo. Unfortunately there was no nap today for our Puddin'. She was coughing, was pretty upset and wanted out of her bed. Dale took off to do some freeway fathering hoping she might take a quick wink in the car and they ended up at the park. Hopefully we will have a quiet and early bed time tonight. We all could really use it!

The trade winds are here with full force in the afternoons. It is pretty to see the white caps rolling in across the ocean. You have to make sure everything is tied down! It is great to sit out on the lanai and enjoy the warm breeze and scenery. The Hansens fly in today and our little beachy clan will get bigger by 2! I am sure they had a pretty bumpy flight with the wind!

Hopefully our little family can rally after a good night's rest and get back at it tomorrow! It took a LOT to get here... now we just need to heal up!
