Spring Break: Kauai & Oahu Epic Fishing

Spring break was a little later this year in the last week of March but it was much needed.  Both you and Ben were quite ready for a break.  And, our vacation did not disappoint!  This year, we went back to Hawaii and also added in Kauai.  This pretty much covers visiting all of the main islands, Oahu, Maui, Big Island and Kauai.  We had a total blast.  

Fresh homemade poke from skipjack you caught!

We had a blast in Hawaii and can't wait to come back! Your fishing trip was a bucket list experience.  Seeing all the animals, nature, swimming and relaxation was fantastic.

Bradley-ism's:
"Bradley, why are your labubu's facing the wall?  Becuase I don't want them to see my balls when I'm changing"

"Did you know Wesley has 12 ants and four thousand crumbs in his backpack?  He has an entire ecosystem in there"

I love you so much Bradley!  Thanks for being the kind, caring, smart, funny, and generous person that you are :)
