Kauai - A Break from the Cold

The kids anxiously awaiting our turn to get on the plane.

They are so excited to finally be in Kauai!

Payton has become a good little swimmer with his life jacket.  We think he is part fish!

They thought it was pretty cool that we had a banana tree at the house.  They were delish!

We hiked to a beautiful secret waterfall where Megan (and Wendy, Kimberly, and Emma) got many mosquito bites. The weird thing though was that the boys didn't get any.

Megan got the record of 77 bites.  Not fun.

 
Of course we got some Puka Dogs!! They are a favorite for all of us.

Payton did his toad hunting with Dad and Papa.  Of course he loved every second of it!  Dad said he was pretty good at catching the toads all by himself!

Marcus got to do his snorkeling, one of his favorites, while Megan relaxed on the beach with the kids.

Payton loves getting buried in the sand every year.

Emma wanted to join daddy and Payton, so she grabbed her own boogie board and headed toward the water.

We went up Waimea Canyon lookout and we were in a cloud!  You couldn't see anything, it was actually really cool.

We decided to try out a Luau, which was a first for Marcus and the kids.  It was pretty fun.  Our favorite was definitely the fire dancing!

Cute little munchkins and their silhouettes in the morning sunrise.

Emma trying out the boogie board.  She actually did pretty good floating by herself!

Our family with Megan's parents...

and Marcus' dad and step mom. We love traveling with the grandparents!
