Kauai Adventures





































Tom and I got one full day to ourselves with mom and dad watching the children in the condo and pool-side. We decided to go for a snorkling trip on the Napli Cost (where Jarasic Park was filmed), which is the side of the island that you can only get to by boat, helicoptor or foot (miles of a hike). We saw whales, dolphines, turtles and spectacular scenery. We had a blast! Mom and Dad also got one full day to themselves, without children, and they went for a ATV/kayake adventure. They also took a couple more hours and went ziplinning - which we all need to go and do in Park City.

One day mom, dad, Jordan and I went snorkling and swam with turtles, sharks (no kidding), dolphins and many many fish. Tom and Jayde hung out together on the beach!

Fun in the Sun
























































We spent 7 days on Kauai and 3 days on Ohau, with a total of a 10 day vacation. It was not long enough. Tom decided that we will move here and he will teach surfing lessons and I will do PR for some resort. Sounds good! You all can visit us here!






Jordan learned how to boogie board (the board is sitting in his room), Jayde played in the sand and water, Tom and Jordan sea kayaked, mom and dad learned how to snorkle along with Jordan, well we just had a blast!

Pearl Harbor
















We spent the day at Pear Harbor, what a humbling experience. We went on the memorial, toured a submarine and battle ship. Very neat day! Tom and Jordan got there photos with three navy personnel who were here when this all happened. We have their autographs in a book.

Honnolulu, HI
























































Here we are swiming at Wakiki Beach, which our hotel was only two blocks from, at the Poloneasion Cultural Center (spelling?) and at the LDS Temple. We had a fun day at the center with a tour to the temple grounds. The temple was under construction, that is why it is not as white as you normally see it. The dancing and luai was amazing, which Jayde spelt through. Jordan got to try his hand at hunting they way they use to and won a cool handmade bandana and he and I got tatoos.






We got to go on a cano ride and learn about the different cultures.
