Kauai - Day 5

Today we kayaked down the Wailua River and hiked to Secret Falls. The adventure was fun but very tiring. We had to kayaked 2 miles, then hike 1.5 miles to the "secret falls" with 100 other tourist! Then hike back to the kayaks and paddle back the 2 miles. Jason and Nick kicked our butts going back in the kayaks. We then went to lunch for Pizza and Dogs at Costco. You just can't beat the prices (same as the mainland and a bargain on this island) and the views are the best anywhere. Tomorrow is a sight seeing tour to the Koke e State Park. The Hawaiian "Grand Canyon". Pictures to come.

Kauai Trip - Day 3 & 4

Today was adrenaline junkie day. Zip lining high in the tree tops and jumping off 25 ft. water falls! What a day to remember!! It is Jason's 16th Birthday today and we wanted to make it a great one. I think we succeeded. We started off zip lining on 7 zips. Nick and Jason were pros. We then headed over to Kipu Falls. We had to trek through 1 mile of brush but it was well worth it. It is gorgeous! Just what you think of when you picture Hawaii to look like. We all jumped off the falls and did the swing rope, even Nana. Cole and I realized today that we are not as young as we were. He hurt his knee and I almost tumbled down the water fall trying to keep up with the teenagers.

Kauai Trip - Day 1 & 2

Well here we are on the beautiful island of Kauai with Nana and Pop Pop. We settled into our condo and got a great view! We drove around and saw the sites. We also got to have a puka hot dog. We had seen it on the food channel and had to go. It was soooo good.
