Christmas Vacation

We took a vacation to Kauai.  It was absolutely beautiful and 10 of the best days of 2011!  : )  We took over 700 pictures while we were there.  : )  A few highlights.....



 The view from our room



 Every morning at 9:00 we went to the lobby of the hotel to help feed the fish.  Eli enjoyed it; Chase was scared that the fish were going to eat him.  Chase says this about ALL animals!  : )
 Chase napping at about 10am : ) trying to adjust to Hawaii time
 Eli loved his boogie board
 Reed LOVED playing in the sand.  Since he was in a cast, we put a plastic bag over his leg while he played.  The doctor told us to stay away from sand while he had the cast.  :)


 LOVE this picture of Chase
 The hotel had a pool for kids....it was perfect and everyone loved it

 Love this picture of Eli
 Kauai has chickens that roam wild and they are EVERYWHERE!!!   One grabbed a potato chip out of Reed's hand while he was eating lunch.  I wish I had a camera to capture the look on his face when it happened.  He looked very offended!
We had a waterproof cast cover so Reed was still able to enjoy the pool.

 Silly boys!
 When driving around the island, we found a cave.  This is the view from the inside of the cave.
 We went to a plantation that had lots of peacocks that just run wild.  Reed loved chasing the peacocks! It was so cute to see him run after them in his cast.

 Chasing peacocks : )



 Eli enjoyed digging really deep holes in the sand....this was one of his deepest
Eli and Chase played until they dropped.  One day I wrapped Chase in a towel after he got out of the pool and he immediately fell asleep half standing up.  CRAZY!  Towards the end of the trip, Eli and Chase fell asleep each evening at the dinner table.  They were completely worn out!!!
