In February we took a trip to Kauai, Hawaii. This is one of my favorite places. I could be here everyday and be happy. Not quite sure where to start, so here are the pictures in the order they were on my computer which I don't think is chronological.
Feeding some very aggressive Koi fish. I am sure they are fed all day long and they act like they've never seen food before. They jump up out of the water and flap around, and find their way back into the water after they get their food.
This was my favorite part of the trip. My dad treated me, Christian, and Jacob to a little day cruise with snorkeling. While we were going to our floating spot a group of whales was floating right beside us. This is the best picture we took with our camera phone, but they were slapping the water with their fins and showing off their tails. The guide on our boat said that this is as active as they get. Such a cool experience. And I can cross whale watching off my bucket list. We also saw a double breach off in the distance behind us. The splash was amazing. We also saw dolphins, sea turtles, and sting rays. On our way back from snorkeling, the sun came out, we had sandwiches and hawaiian sodas, and they had fun oldies songs on the speakers. The water was crispy blue and Christian and I were singing along. It was absolutely beautiful. It was one of those moments where you just know life can't get much better.
No vacation is complete with out a train ride. We took Zach and Sommer to a train ride on an old sugar cane plantation.
Jacob and Sommer waiting to get rolling.
Zach was excited for the conductor to yell "All Aboard!"
On the train ride we were able to stop and feed the animals. They were extremely friendly animals.
A sea turtle came to sun bathe.
The view from our hotel room. My dad paid for an ocean view. The ocean is there... way out there. It's still a really pretty view either way. Although, I wouldn't be surprised if the good people at Marriott heard about his grievances.
More wild life. Jacob isn't afraid to pick up these gross things and the kids love it. I'm glad he gets adventurous, because picking up a lizard is something I wouldn't do.
Sommer in the Hammock. She wasn't so sure about it. Zach flipped upside down as soon as he got in, so no picture of him.
Family picture at the beach. Don't mind Sommer picking her boogers and Zach, sticking his tongue up his nose. You're getting the read deal here.
Eating at Jo Jo's Shave Ice. We love this place so much we went twice. Don't mind my face here, but Zach and Sommer we're both smiling and looking at the camera, which is a miracle so it had to be shared.
We love Hawaii and as much as I love my kids and taking them on adventures, they are staying home next time so Jacob and I can really enjoy Hawaii. We have a big list of activities to do with out them and I can't wait to go back.
