Hawaii

Jason's parents called one day and told him before the babies come him and I should take a little vacation somewhere. It has almost been five years since I left Hagen with them to go to Hawaii and I needed a break. We took them up on the offer and decided to go to Maui. When we went there before we only stayed on the island a few days and then flew to Oahu, so we wanted to go and check out what we had missed. I didn't want to have too much planned other than sitting on the beautiful beaches and reading a good book.
The plane ride was very long being five months pregnant, but it was nice once we got there. Our first two days we went snorkeling, hiking and drove the road to Hana. I was worn out and didn't want to do anything else other than relax. We did want to see some sea turtles so we went to a beach that is known for having a lot. The water was really rough and I didn't feel comfortable snorkeling, so I hung out on the beach while Jason went. A little while later I saw him swim into shore. When I looked over again to where he had gotten out of the water he was talking to two naked men. I guess that beach we went to was a nudist beach, because there were a few more people completely naked. When Jason came up to me he was cut up pretty bad and had lost his flippers and underwater camera. I guess he saw a shark when he was out snorkeling and headed back to shore. When he got out he needed to get past some big sharp rocks and when he was walking past him a big wave came and pushed him into them. He luckily only got a little hurt. I guess it could have been a lot worse. The nudist saw him and went to check on him. I had no clue. Other than that eventful day we were relaxing and eating.
I missed my kids so much that I'm not sure if I will be able to ever leave them again. Kinley was very mad at me and it took her about four hours before she would even let me get near her. The kids had a lot of fun with their grandparents.
