Summer Trip to Kauai

We're off to Kauai! Here the girls are on the plane. The first thing we did was attend a Luau.
Then we hit the beach.
Here K is modeling her new dress.

Waiting for dinner to be served. The girls didn't want any of the roasted pig.

Each day we spent time on the beach. Here T is playing in the sand.

Brian and the other two played in the water.

Our room had a nice balcony.

This is the river that we are going to come back to sometime to kayak.

We found a really fun beach where the girls laughed and played in the big waves.

Love the clear water.

Brian is getting ready to go snorkeling.

We took a tour of the sugar plantation and we stopped to feed the goats.

Then we went to enjoy the beach some more.

T and C had fun talking and getting their feet wet.

We also went to see the Pearl Harbor Exhibit.

T on the beach with the "hang loose" sign.

The girls had fun finding small shells.

The girls had so much fun shopping together.

They all bought a few sarongs.

Brian was our personal lifeguard on duty each day at the beach.

Towards the end of our trip we spotted some giant sea turtles.

They were popping up every few minutes. It was really neat to see.

Here are the girls at the airport ready to fly home after a great family trip.
