Thanksgiving

We had an absolutely fabulous Thanksgiving. We started the day with a gorgeous paddleboard/snorkeling adventure. We paddled down the coast to Makena Landing (a famous snorkel spot). Crew was on my board, Caden was on Geoffs, and Chase paddled his own board. The round trip excursion was about 5 miles and took over 3 hours. I was so proud of Chase. I was absolutely exhausted at the end but CHase kept up the entire ride!
We stopped a couple times along the way for the boys to snorkel. It was so cool! We saw SO many sea turtles.
Everyone was excited when we finally reached land. We played for a little while on the beach and had a picnic.
That night we went out to dinner with my mom. I love having her here. She is such a help with the boys.

Wow, you guys look like you're having the time of your lives! I can't believe that Chase paddled for 3 hours. He's a tough kid! And the picture of your fam is really great. You look beautiful in it!

sounds like the PERFECT Hawaiian Thanksgiving - Sun, Beach, the Ocean, and turkey! What an amazing paddle board trip - way to go Chase for doing it all on his own!

Jenn, could you be any hotter girl!?! Seriously. And, you are doing some amazingly hard physical stuff - way to go! I bet your Mom just LOVES being there with you guys...

So, we are really considering spring break in Maui with you guys...I think we're in with the Blands.
