thanksgiving in maui - a vacation in paradise that was not so paradise :/

i wrote this one a while ago but then i didn't have enough space to download the pictures and then christmas and new years and here we are...

we're back from 8 days in maui but it really feels like we need a vacation. just to summarize...
  • the day we left cole was going on day 8 of diarrhea (sorry cole if you're older and reading this).
  • the plane we were traveling on didn't have a changing station in any of the bathrooms which made it kinda tough when you're traveling with 2 kids in diapers.
  • stella had 2 blowouts before the plane even took off so i went thru all her extra clothes before we even left lax (sorry stella - same reason).
  • about 2 hours after we check into our condo cole fell and hit his mouth on a table and knocked in and chipped his 2 front teeth :(
  • the day after thanksgiving something clicks in stella's head and she's crawling!
  • we find out that cole gets car sick - on the way down from haleakala - after lots of snacks...
  • vere leaves his wallet on the top of the car after gassing up but a good samaritan returns it.
  • departure day - cole's first solid poop in 15 days.
whew!... it was a crazy week! sorry for all the bm talk but this has been our life for the last few weeks! oh and mom and dad once again made a delicious thanksgiving meal - thanks guys! here are some pics...
