They have finally arrived in beautiful Hawaii. Jon, Kate and the children were greeted by hula dancers and a lovely band. It was a great way to start off their Hawaiian adventure.
The hotel, Grand Wailea, was amazing. The grounds were phenomenal. They have numerous pools all connected by water slides. The kiddie pool has a sand base which was really interesting. They were very accommodating to the family and thought of every little thing they could want or need. They even had little gift baskets waiting for the family when they arrived.
The first adventure for the family was trying out the beautiful pools. Once Jon got Kate and the little ones settled in the kiddie pool, he, Cara and Maddie headed off to give the slides a try. There were so many to choose from. I think the water elevator was their favorite. While Kate was in the kiddie pool with the little ones, Leah decided to give swimming without her floaters a try. Let me tell you she was a natural. Like a fish to water.
Jon also took the older two girls snorkiling. Cara was all for it and loved every moment. Maddie on the other hand was not into it and ended up with a mouth full of salt water. YUCK!
I think the cutest moment by far was when the kids got to make cookies with the chefs from the resort. Each child got their own chef jacket with the name imprinted on it. They spent some time making and decorating cookies with the chefs. Maddie and Cara each got to make their own special recipe which was printed on a card for them to take home so they could make even more batches of these fabulous cookies. I think the children really enjoyed their day with the chefs.
While Jon took the boys to shop for their wedding atire, Kate and the girls got a special treat, hula dancing lessions. This was adorable. They looked so sweet trying out the moves.
Their final adventure was a sailing and snorkeling trip. The captain of the boat was great. He was so engaging with the kids. He even let them each take a turn driving the boat. The coolest thing was watching the kids on the boogie boards with the built in masks. Whomever created these boards is a genius. It was the perfect way for the kids to experience snorkeling without getting their faces in the water. They were able to see all of the vegetation and the sea turtles with ease.
Next week is the renewal of vows for Jon and Kate. From the previews it looks like it is going to be a very beautiful ceremony and I can not wait to see it.

Wow. I can’t believe how gullible some people are. Did it not strike you as odd that the only people in Jon & Kate’s family who were at their “wedding” were people that hadn’t seen them in like 20 years and that they obviously weren’t close to and barely knew? Jon & Kate not only get everything for free, but they are now millionaires, and I’m sure the show and airlines easily would have given their immediate family a free trip and in the highly unlikely event that they wouldn’t, Jon & Kate easily could have paid for it themselves. The fact that they didn’t should confirm to everyone that there is something seriously wrong here. What couple that has 8 small children has no support from their family? Ever notice that the few family members they did have that actually helped have now mysteriously disappeared off the show? NOT a coincidence. These people have managed to alienate and destroy their own family relationships by prioritizing fame and greed, and their children are suffering for it being denied the company of their family. The psychological well-being of these children is being auctioned off to the highest bidder, and it’s clearly already showing (in Maddy at least, in a BIG way) that these kids are going to need therapy ASAP (like, right now, Maddy). These people get paid a rediculous amount of money for their children, the least they can do is get Maddy a therapist immediately. This child has more than an attitude problem, it’s a serious indication of mal-adjustment and a glimpse at what’s to come. Also, they need to stop acting poor so they can keep getting freebies. Nobody’s buying it. When your family eats completely organic, your grocery bill is multiplied by four (on top of what it already is), not to mention they have maid service and a personal organic chef when the cameras aren’t rolling. PLEASE. The hypocrisy is astounding. I beg you. Jon, Kate, prioritize your kids. You’ve done enough filming, you’ve earned enough money, kick the cameras out of your homes and lives and start acting like a real family.
