Sean had an anesthesia conference on the Big Island June 12-14. The thought of him enjoying himself at a beautiful tropical resort without us was just not right. So we decided to tag along for some fun. The hotel and its grounds were gorgeous, and we were able to entertain ourselves most of time without ever leaving. Three days weren't enough time to enjoy everything. Before checking into the hotel, we drove to an ancient Hawaiian temple and sanctuary. The coolest part about this place was the little wading pool with lots of turtles swimming right next to us. Amazing!
The kids had the best time just playing at the pools. There were a few slides to enjoy along with a cool waterfall.
Ella enjoyed relaxing with her daddy during a break from swimming.
The highlight of the trip was having the kids swim with dolphins. Ella and Sean got to pet and feed a dolphin while the boys got to swim around a big pool with them and learn more about them. Mason was a little too young, but he would have done it in a heartbeat. He loved watching them swim fast and do high jumps.
Ahhh, it almost looks like we're alone for a minute, but within a second of this picture, we were off chasing them again.
We kayaked around a lagoon at the hotel, and saw some more sea turtles.
