Waimea Canyon

We drove up to view the Canyon this morning...


view from the end of the road, over the ocean

Same area, looking towards the island, near one of the wettest places on earth.

The trail, slippery, muddy and no guardrails.  I made it about 3/4 of a mile, decided it was not a kid-friendly trail.

Henri sporting his latest band-aid.  What would he do without a bump on the head?

View towards where we are staying as we drive down the mountain.

Hawaii Videos



Hawaii Day 1 & 2

Introduced the kids to shaved ice.  Valerie liked the spoon straw more than the ice.  Henri had strawberry, Carter had coconut.

Henri wasn't giving his up for anything until it was done.

 Valerie modeling her new swimsuit in the pack 'n' play we got at a resale store for $10.Valerie's Cabana


the "bay" to the left is only about a foot deep, so the kids hung out there the rocky part on the right out across the water is full of tidepools with fun fish to see and check out.  The boys went out there with grandpa & I.

Hawaii hasn't changed Valerie's happy disposition.

Waiting in the car with a sleeping Henri.

2nd beach, the babies had enough of the sun, so we found this great tree to hunker down under, a cabana with places to hang up all our stuff, put the pack n' play and play in the shade.
Erin & Valerie at the first beach.

Henri at the first beach.


Carter at the first beach playing with the trucks we got at the resale shop.
 Snorkling at the second beach, it was near the beach, shallow and easy snorkling, there were many more, colorful fish than this...

Poolside







A few pictures from the kids' waterpark-there's waterslides, a lazy river, etc.  There's some cute pics of Henri going on the lazy river, but they are on someone else's camera

Meeting Characters








Carter hunted for rubber ducks with Ernie, baked cookies with Cookie Monster, went to a Seasame Street Birthday party and looked for treasure chests with Abby Cadaby (a fairy-godmother in training for those of you who are of the older set who do not know Abby)

At the beach

Beach pictures, including Carter surfing



Views from our room in Turks & Caicos

We got upgraded due to the fact our last name was the same as the bride's!  5th Floor of the Italian Village.  The second picture is off our balcony, the first picture is out our front door.
