3 of a Kind: Daniel, Justin, and Andrew: July 2016

7/28

So I went to bed to find this in my bathroom.

Went to investigate and saw this.

7/29 Morning

So now we have this

Now he wants his long hair back. Apparently the front was bothering him last night so he cut it. He was refusing to go to the gym (which he loves to go to) because of his hair.

7/26

These kids have really improved climbing the rock wall since they started.

Daniel is able to make it all the way to the top. Now to work on a harder wall.

7/25

We have a walker!!!

Wesley loves the stairs. We let him climb up to the landing which is only 3 steps. But the other day someone left the gate open and he had climbed upstairs without us knowing. Now that he is a pro at that it is time to learn to come down.

This kid really love the jumper

7/22

I just really don't see how this is comfy.

7/21

Mom's sick so what can we get away with? Why have a 2 story if you can't throw things over the railing. The boys made paper airplanes (lots of them because one is not good enough) and made up a game with throwing airplanes.

7/20

Wesley likes to drink his bottle with the bottle on the furniture. But I think this time he was standing and holding his bottle. Too big for his own good.

7/20

After watching a scary Alvin and the Chipmunks these two sleep in the same bed. Too cute.

7/19

Loves Mama's cooking. What am I suppose to use this spoon for. Hands are better. Loves mashed potatoes.

7/18

Wesley eating. This kid loves food. What a mess!

7/10

The day we go home. Our flight is not until like 10 at night so we could play first. I could show so many more pictures but don't want to bore you.

We hiked to Hanakapi'ia. We actually didn't make it quite there due to time and a fast pace river we would have to cross.

Lots of up and down hill. worked the booty. Don't let this pretty picture fool you. It was rough.

But the views are totally worth it.

Can you see the rainstorm heading our way.

Can you see the rain. Yes, we continued to hike

Favorite view of the hike

The river I did not want to cross to get to the beach. It was moving pretty fast since it had rained.

All wet and muddy and we had things to do after this.

After the hike that wore us out, we went horseback riding. I was a little afraid since I had never been on a horse. It was fun. My horse was Wheeler. It was loads of fun. Our group was just the two of us. We got a private tour. Our guide was awesome. Totally would do it again.

This is where we stopped for lunch

I had to stop and take a picture. We drove through this arch of trees almost daily. Beautiful.

7/9

Happy Anniversary

12yrs

Out for a morning hike.Maha'ulepu Heritage Trail.

I don't know what it is about this log but I loved it.

This was my favorite spot. It was a little tide pool. We saw some hermit crabs (or we think) and some jumping fish (which was pretty cool)

Our destination. The beach

After that we took a relaxing boat ride to the Fern Grotto

This bridge I saw when Kayaking and fell in love with it.

They sang the wedding song. It used to be people could go up into the fern but because of a big storm for the safety for everyone they built a platform.

Learning how to hula

We listened to the presentation at the time share and got a certificate for dinner. Worked great for us because we used it for our anniversary dinner.

Dinner at the Tide Pools in the Hyatt

Yummy!!

We really liked the doughnut dessert Dennis got.

Can you see the friend who hung out with us for dinner?

7/8

Kayaking

Not too bad on the way out (Dennis might disagree) but on the way back, going against the wind, was kind of rough and tiring.

Forgot to rotate this guy but he was our guide and seem to know a lot. He hiked barefoot.

This is the secret waterfall that is not so secret but beautiful

There were chickens EVERYWHERE. We are told there are no predators.

Later we went to the blowhole. My favorite part was because there was a rainbow out, when the water came through the blowhole it almost continued the rainbow down.

Do you see it? It's a turtle. The closest we came to one.

We were out for a walk and there was a downpour. But who cares, we are on vacation. It was a quick storm.

7/7

Today we went ATVing. Love It!! Dennis made sure to hit any and all puddles so we could get as dirty as possible.

A tunnel build to take sugarcane through.

One of the fields Jurassic Park was filmed. Dennis really wanted to be the one pushing me to the dinosaur.

Where we stopped for lunch

A bunker that was made. Small and scary.

The end result

Later we went walking around the Hotel. Found this.

I was too chicken to go near the edge.

7/6

The reason to we went to Hawaii is Dennis had a hearing on Oahu.

So since we were staying on Kauai we hopped on a plane early in the morning.

Had some shaved ice that was featured on Diners, Drive in, and Dives. Delish!!

Just had to

Went to the temple. Wanted to do a session but it was closed for cleaning.

If you look closely you can see guys power washing the temple. Cleaning week.

We also hit up the Dole Pineapple place to get some yummy Pineapple float.

7/5

And we are off. We left family at our house to head to the airport. 6hrs to go and we will be in Kauai.

First class was worth the extra money. One thing I learned was NEVER plan something the day you get there. Just stay home and relax. We were so tired.
