Aloha!

Aloha! We just got back from Kauai, Hawaii. It was absolutely beautiful! Addaly absolutely love it! She loved being able to "go surfing" at the beach and then go hop right in the swimming pool after! She loved seeing all the geckos everywhere and swimming with the little fish in the ocean!

We went to see Waimea Canyon, that was so beautiful! Although it made me a little nervous with how high we were! I have this issue with heights!! We rode in a canoe in the Wailua river up to the Fern Grotto. We saw 2 amazing waterfalls and the Spouting Horn.

It was so nice just to relax and hit the beach! Doug, Trent and I went boogie boarding. I was OK until I was ridding a wave in, looked up and realized I was ridding the wave with a turtle! So after the fact it was really cool, but while it was happening I freaked out and went under!

Doug and I went snorkeling. I was so excited until i put the snorkel on, went under the water and got a huge mouthful of water! Yep Addaly had been playing with the snorkel earlier and had taken out the plug! Doug was able to see amazing fish while I was choking up above the water! I guess I'm just meant to sit up on the beach and soak in the sun!

We had an amazing time! Thanks Dirk, Jackie and Trent! We had a blast!

(She was so excited to go to Hawaii! Waiting at the airport princess style!) (Doug entertaining Addaly on the long plane ride with his amazing skills!)

(Getting ready to ride the canoe. She was so excited!)

(Addaly loved the beach! Especially because there was a playground on the beach!)



(We ate shaved ice almost everyday! It's pretty much the bomb!)
