Hawaii!!!

What a wonderful time we had in Hawaii!!!!! Jaxon stayed with Auntie Andrea, Uncle Larry and the girls and had a great time :-) Mimi Carol and PaPa John and Kalei and Rylan helped out too :-) We went on a cruise and saw a little bit at four of the islands... just enough to make us want to go back :-) On the cruise we met two awesome couples.... Donna and Paul from Austin and Paige and Charles from Alabama.

(Clockwise: Paul, Charles, Paige, Lynne, Mark, and Donna)

Our cruise started dropped us off first in Hilo on the Big Island. This is were we met The Gang :-) Our excursion took us all over.... Black Sand Beach, Lava Tree Park, back roads to a beach.

Then we went to Maui. We went snorkeling with a Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle, snorkeling at Molokini Crater, shopping in Lahaina and laying on a gorgeous beach.

Then we we went back to the Big Island and kayaked and snorkeled there. We were hoping to play with some dolphins, but no such luck (at least we didn't see any dorsal fins (at least the shark kinds :-)).

after Kona

We went to Kauai and had a blast taking dune (or should I say Mud) Buggies through the tropical forest and found a few gorgeous waterfalls. One evening we attended a Luau. We also rented
a few scooters and found a few more waterfalls. We went up to the NaPali coastline to see a spectacular view and an amazing sunset with some amazing friends. Na Pali Coastline


In Oahu we had a private tour from Kalei's parents, Kathy and Gary Smith. What an experience!!

What's up with Jaxon?

Jaxon is such a little booger (he is 20 moths now!!)... he loves to say no whenever I ask for a kiss... it is almost a matter of fact no :-) He is a speed demon... hardly slows down for anything. He has this thing that drives me crazy, when he gets mad at me he bumps his head on anything in front of him... most of the time it is on the futon arm or his crib, so needless to say he has plenty of little bruises on he forehead.... so I have decided that I am going to get him a helmet so if he does continue it his forehead will not be bruised :-) What a boy :-)
