Because of a red eye flight home our final day was really another full day. Our flight didn't leave until after 8pm so we had all day to swim and play before packing up our stuff. Carter really loved the early morning walks with me and requested one final stroll around the resort our last morning. I've learned so much about how he connects with others, one on one, with simple walks and conversations.
The rest of the family relaxed at the room. It had been such an incredible week but I think we were all feeling a bit tired.
Before swimming we went down to the lagoon for a final fishing session. All the resort staff knew Simon and happily greeted him (is that a good thing that they all recognized him throughout the week?!?). The kids each caught a couple of fish before we headed over to swim.
Simon ended up taking a well deserved nap on my lap...for over 4 hours! Little did we know it was the start of a really bad ear infection that would end up requiring multiple trips to the walk in clinic, pediatrician and even an ENT visit before it healed. Poor guy!
We packed up, walked over to the nearby shopping center for a final lunch and gelato treat before heading to the airport. Lucy even lost a tooth! And, crazy how the tooth fairy pays extra for vacation teeth and having to travel up such a high altitude for an airplane visit. She got $5 when she woke up on the flight home....lucky girl!
All in all it was an incredible family vacation. We were so thankful to spend the week with Matt's parents, create new family memories, make new friends and enjoy all the sun. Until next time Kauai....
