Hanalei, Kauai

I realized there were so many pictures of our trip to Kauai, and more in the making, so I thought I would post a few. Someone asked me before we left, "what on earth are you going to do over there for 3 weeks, I would get so bored!" Well let me tell you I think I could stay here for years, we have only 1 week left and I am already sad. The kids have had lots of beach time from digging in the sand, to boogie boarding and surfing. We've seen amazing waterfalls, turtles, and whales. Cayden enjoys catching Geckos and Preston and Maddox like all the chickens that roam free here. There is no real hurry to go anywhere and we have no time frame once we get there. With that in mind here is a few photos of our time together.

We try our hand at fishing, and it is so easy here. Sorry Grandpa!



Preston fell in love with Boogie Boarding and the beach.



We found some baby chickens that were not afraid of us at all, although once my kids were through with them I think they might be smart to FEAR kids now...

This is on South Shore at the Spouting Horn, a big blow hole that the kids thought was so cool.

These are the waterfalls that all feed the stream that runs alongside our property. There is usually only one little trickle in the center, but this day it rained so hard the mountain was covered. It was pretty amazing to see.

And a few more beach shots...

Maddox turns 3!

Maddox had been talking about going to Chuck E. Cheese for his birthday forever, even though we had never officially planned it, that was just where he had decided in his mind. So about a week before jis bithday, we finally decided to give in and let him go. Let me tell you that kid was in heaven. What is it that kids love about places like this sooo much? It can't possibly be the cardboard pizza. But it is all about games and fun and they all had their fill. Happy Birthday my cute little baby boy, I hope it was your best birthday yet.

Happy Halloween

Here go the Trick or Treaters...

This is at Cayden's 3rd grade class party. Can you believe we had 4 halloween, or should I say "Harvest" parties, in one week. It was a busy week to say the least!

Ready For Church. It is always a struggle to get out the door in time for church, but today we did it and had 10 min to spare when we pulled in the parking lot, needless to say it was quite empty. As we walked inside there was no one in the pews, we would have our pick today of where to sit. When I asked where everbody was it was then we came to realize that we were not just 10minutes early but 1hour and 10min. I have never been a casulty of Daylight savings time, but never say never, because today was my day. Oh well, I plan on putting the kids to bed at the same time and enjoying my extra hour after they are in bed, not knowing the difference!
