The boys were ready to go! The 6 hour flight wasn't too bad though they had a hard time sleeping since it was light the whole time. Coming home was much better- they both were asleep before we were up in the air.
Kauai
We spent our first week on Kauai. It was our first time there and we definitely will go back given the opportunity! It was beautiful! Grammee and Grand Al were able to join us for a few days :).
This is a view of the pools at the Kauai Marriott in Lihue where Kitty and Al stayed. We all had so much fun swimming there! There was a kids pool with a water slide.
We stayed at a place called Fern Grotto Inn. It is just south of Kapaa in an excellent location. The hosts were awesome and even left a motored jeep for our kids to play with (they have 5 year old twins).
This is a rare family picture at the Waimea Canyon. So beautiful! If only the boys would cooperate with having their picture taken.
Quinn and Nolan were so funny with these swimming goggles.
Beach time. We couldn't get enough of it!
Quinn's favorite treat- shave ice!
Big Island
The second week was spent on the Big Island with my parents and Jeremy and Mechaune. We pretty much stayed on the Kona side of the Island this time. Lots of beach time (though not enough now that we're no longer there!).
This is the Green Sand Beach. It was a cloudy day so it's kind of hard to see the olive green color of the sand. It takes a sturdy 4wd or a 2 mile hike to get there, unless you catch a ride with a local! There were 3 or 4 local guys at the parking lot who would take you to the beach (for a fee). Quinn and Rich are sitting in the cliff in the second picture.
Rich and I were able to get away one day and go zip lining. So fun!
Rich took a surfing lesson but unfortunately, I only got pictures of him coming in!
