Kauai: Day 1

The first time we took Isaac to Hawaii he was up at 4:30 so seeing as how this time around all the boys weren't officially up til six was great! I say officially because Blake came in bed with us at two and when Parker came in at 4:30 Shaun took him out to the sleeper-sofa and they fell back to sleep. If the first morning was so good I wasn't worried about the next five!

We had breakfast and headed out to explore while we waited for everyone else to wake up. There was a playground and kid's beach about a fourth of a mile from our condo. The boys were thrilled and would have stayed there the rest of the day. They don't make playgrounds like this in California!

At 8 o'clock, during Blake's morning nap, I took the big boys swimming. On our way to the pool we yelled in at Ammah and Papa's condo and told them to wake up. Papa and aunties soon joined us in the water.

After a trip to Wal-Mart for groceries and souvenirs we went site seeing. Opaeka'a Falls was our first stop and it happened to be right across from the Wailua River. These were two gorgeous views! This is where the boys experienced their first liquid sunshine. They were a little confused that the sun was out and they were getting wet! Our next adventure truely was an adventure. We found a beaten, dirt path that led to who knows what and took it! The boys thought it was great and beacuse off all the rocking it put Blake to sleep! Parker really wanted to play I spy. He said, "I spy something in my eye that is..." Then he thought and thought and looked all around. Seeing as how we were in a jungle there was only one color to choose from. He finally shouted, "GREEN!!!" The boys were really hoping to see Tarzan swing from some of the vines! Next time I guess!

The boys took off and wouldn't turn around for a picture!

Sooooo cool!

The lava was a nice touch!

The kid's beach that didn't have waves. It may look like sunset but it's really just that early in the morning!

The boys hanging out on the back patio!

This is how we ended the day.
Can you guess what movies we brought with us?... Yup! The boys are introducing daddy to episode one!
