Best Vacation EVER!


Last week we were in 78 degree weather. We were in Kauai. Paradise. The only problem with our trip was that it came to an end. Here are a few pictures we wanted to share. Please don't be too critical of the picture quality, I haven't had time to "Photoshop" but I didn't want to wait any longer. Check out my brother's blog with some "Re-donkulous" pictures. (That's Ricky's new favorite word). He is such a talented photographer!!! I need to hang out with him more and have some lessons. His blog is:


McKay looked like this a lot on our trip...waiting for me to set-up the tripod or snap a quick picture. He's a good sport. Gosh I love that guy!
Took a hike with a beautiful view

We found a "secret" beach that we had entirely to ourselves. We had to hike in, but it was well worth it!! Coconuts kept the boys very entertained while the girls enjoyed good books and sunshine!




On our second visit to our "secret" beach the cove was full of dolphins! The boys were able to swim with them! Crazy!!
Sunsets in Hawaii...nothing can compare...too bad the photographer cut off the top of the palm tree. :-)
We took a boat ride out on the ocean, got to see dolphins and whales! It was 'whale' worth the bumpy ride and splashing water!!




This is our "secret" beach! We had it all to our selves. Can you believe that?!






A seal - on the beach taking a snooze!


I can't resist anything pink. Or flowery for that matter.



I can't wait to go back! We had so much fun. I didn't get pictures of everything we did, but we went scuba diving (we dove into some caverns with a bunch of turtles and some really beautiful fish!), we went on a kayak tour up a fresh water river to a beautiful waterfall, did a few little hikes to a few other waterfalls, ate some delicious food, had beach time, went running and enjoyed being with each other without the distractions! Thanks for a fun trip honey! I love you so much!
