OUR HAWAIIAN SURPRISE

We just got back from Maui yesterday, it was such a fun trip! The weather was perfect the whole time we were there and our hotel was awesome. We had quite the unexpected surprise when we finally arrived at our hotel in hawaii. We opened our luggage to start putting everything away and I found Karli in my suit case!! We had a lot of people tell us before we left that they wanted to come with and that we could just pack them in our suit case, but Karli actually did it! At first we were a little unsure about having her on our honeymoon with us, but we ended up having a blast with Karli. As anyone that knows Karli would tell you, its always a good time when she is around!

Finding Karli in my luggage

Karli was a little exhausted from the long flight so we let her rest on our bed for a while. She watched scamper the penguin and ordered lots of room service. She liked not having to make the popcorn for once.

We wanted to get some snacks and see more of the island so we drove into Kihei. I let Karli take the wheel for a while, she loved driving the jeep!

The next morning we went for a walk down the path that ran along the beach behind the resorts. We let Karli tag along and she loved the beautiful views of the ocean.

After our walk we decided to lay out by the pool. Karli was very good to apply her sunscreen, our mom will be so proud!

On Monday we had a great time playing on the beach at our hotel. Karli loved playing in the hot sand and laying out under the Hawaiian sun.

She had a great time playing in the waves with Nate and running along the beach with Ashley.

Later that night we treated her to shopping and dinner at The Shops at Wailea. She loved the designer stores and she discovered that she loves pasta! Yay!

Karli loved getting free cups of pineapple at the pool every day and on our last day there we decided to sneak her into the adult pool. She loved the cool lounge chairs that were shaped like leaves.

One of Karli's favorite things about the trip was the watching the sunset every night. We had a great view from our balcony. She also loved all the smoothies and her favorite flavor was coconut.

Hawaii was amazing and we loved having Karli with us. Thanks for coming along Kars!
