KAUAI ADVENTURES! LIVE ALOHA!

Zack and I survived the flight over to Kauai, Hawaii with Kyle - he was actually really good -thank goodness for portable DVD players! You would never believe there would be roosters on a tropical island right? Well we got to Kauai late at night and went to bed - only to be awaken by COCK-A-DOODLE-DO! I woke up out out my sleepy slumber thinking "you gotta be kidding me - there are roosters on this island - and there is one doing his cock-a-doodle-doo thing like a foot from our window!" and wait a second are'nt roosters supposed to do their cock-a-doodle-do thing like at 6am NOT 3am?? These roosters must have had one to many Mai Tais or are smoking the island green! Good lord! My little suburb son was not to crazy about it either - he kept saying "MAMA TURN IT OFF!" poor little guy -not used to these farm roosters at all! There are roosters EVERYWHERE on Kauai - on the sidewalks, streets, even the beaches! Supposedly a hurricane hit Kauai a few years agos and dispersed them all over the island...too bad they did not get sucked up into that hurricane! We eventually got used to it and now I'm missing those little guys a little - well maybe not!


I feel like I could write forever about Kauai - however it might be quite boring for you to read - so I'm going to go ahead and list some of my most fav and memorable things!

- Seeing Kyle play with his cousins Andrew and Alex on the beach! He had a blast! Even asked if we could move to Hawaii! He also worships his Auntie Niki - he was always wanting to cuddle with her and sit on her lap!

- Zack and I took all the boys for a bit and headed to a state beach down a really bumpy road - it was worth the drive soooooo beautiful and amazing. We took the boys to shave ice and the Shrimp Shack - it was really fun!

- We all headed to a luau - the boys got their faces painted like Hawaiian warriors - we ate poi and sucked on Mai Tais - Andrew, Kyle, and Uncle Chris got on stage to do the hula! It was so cute and funny!

- We visited Hanalei - SO BEAUTIFUL - we drove through rainforests - Visited Ke'e Beach and some lava tunnels

- Zack and I fell in love with longboarding in Poipu - now we want to by longboards even though we are in Arizona - San Diego is close!

- Zack and I also went on several walks/jogs - these were adventures in themselves - we came upon a seal on the beach along with a pig being roasted!

- We also got to go to Duke's twice - once in Waikiki and once in Kauai!
- I pigged out on my typical Hawaiian faves - Poi, POG, Poke, Mai Tais, Mahi Mahi, pineapple, shave ice!

-And how could I almost forget the Sugar Cane train! This was Kyles highlight for sure considering he is OBSESSED with trains - it was a dream come ture for him!


Whew!! I think that's almost all of my activities - not bad for a week in Hawaii! Sorry the pics are a little out of order - still getting used to this blogging thing!


Much Aloha!
