Hawaii Vacation

We are a little delayed in posting this but...

Back in June...we spent a little over a week in Kauai, Hawaii with Paul's family and had a great time. We flew from Houston to Los Angeles where we met Paul's family (and had sighting of a d-list celebrity) and flew on to Lihue, Kauai from there. It was nice to have Paul's family with us on the plane to help with the boys and Aaron was happy to get to sit with his grandparents for the flight. We stayed in two condos across the hall from each other in Poipu and they were great. The whole week was spent going to the beach, playing at the condo pool, sight-seeing around the island, looking at waterfalls, admiring the sunset, just enjoying how beautiful it all is and having fun with all 16 of our group.

The only thing that marred this trip was our family getting a little sick. It started with Brian getting a cough then a fever, then Aaron got it, then Jen got it. Paul go it too, but a nap and two tylenol, and he was ok. Thus we didn't get to do EVERYTHING we wanted to, but we relaxed at home for a couple of days and still enjoyed our vacation.

We loved having our new camera with us and took hundreds of pictures. We put a slideshow on Picassa and will attach the link HERE for those of you who want to see about 175 pictures, just click on the slideshow buton in the upper left hand corner. But here are a few pictures to make you jealous even if you don't watch the slide show.

We could easily have stayed another week, but we were glad to be back in our own home again. We had a great time and are glad we took the opportunity to be with our family for a whole week. Now that we are back in Texas and they are ALL back in Utah, we miss them a lot. Until we get to see you again, Aloha and Mahalo!
