The Z man had a great holiday season and thanks to Grandpa Stew, he got 10 glorious days at Kona Village - complete with Mommy, Daddy, Grandma, Grandpa, Nana, Papa, and Cousin Zack! Uncle Kevin and Aunt Nicole were busy back in Washington bringing Zain's cousin Sawyer into the world.
I think the Z man thought he'd died and gone to heaven. Surf, sea turtles, sandcastles, pools, bright stars, fishing, manta rays, Luaus, ocean kayaks, pancakes everyday, ahhh.... really what could be better..????
I can't even explain the joy in my heart watching my son run around in this environment, in absolute awe, sharing many of the same experiences his father had growing up and returning to this special place every December for over 30 years. It is hard to describe the beauty and calm that overcomes you in this magical place. We can only hope that it will be around for Zain's sister to see....
