Mike & I celebrated our 10th anniversary with a trip to Hawaii. Kieran stayed home with grandma & grandpa. It was the first time we've been away from Kieran since we adopted him last year. It was very tough to leave him. But everyone did well, and we got some much needed rest. Kieran had a chain of paper rings to help him count down the days till we returned. It really helped him. Every third day was a red ring, and he got to open a present that Mommy & Daddy left for him. We're home now, and so happy to be here with our sweet son. He's delighted to have us home too, and checks in often to make sure we aren't going anywhere. I'll post pictures soon of his fun adventures with the grandparents. For now, here are a few photos from our trip to Maui...
We took a day trip to snorkel and see the sea turtles. That was a highlight of our vacation! It's definitely worth the price. We rented an underwater camera, also worth the expense. Mike got some great pictures and video of the turtles swimming around us. If you get the chance to go to Maui, consider going on a excursion with Alii Nui. They did such a great job!
We pigged out on delicious food the whole week we were there. Once we got home, the scale was not kind to us. We gained a total of 10 pounds between us! Time to get back to exercising and eating right. Sigh.
The view from our hotel was a vacation all by itself. We sat at dinner in the open air restaurant and watched the sun set each evening.
