Hawaii Part Deux

(Photo credit here goes to Lowell and Julie.  Awesome shot!!  We love it!)

Our second week in Hawaii was spent doing much of the same as the week before. . . Going to the beach and spending time together. One day we headed to this great park.  It was so big we were constantly losing Ty!

Two years ago in Hawaii, Julie took this beautiful picture of Ty and I.  One of my favourites!  Last year I recreated the picture on my birthday on our balcony in Lahaina. 

This year Zekey wanted to pose with his mama.  (Ty was too busy running and playing in the sand and howling at the full moon -  see picture below.)

Cutie patootie!

I also wanted some not so windswept ones so had Shareen take some the next day.  Zeke was a tough crowd, making his very stunned face for all of the pictures. 

Shareen danced, waved her arms, cooed, ahhed and laughed to no avail.  

Well, If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

And 15 minutes later this little turkey was in the jolly jumper laughing and smiling away.

We ate VERY well on this trip.  Here is Marc's taco from taco night.  Mmmm - delish!

Julie teaching the next generation that she loves having her hair played with!

Shareen, Bette, and I and  our driver Pete ;) headed to the botanical gardens one day.  Unfortunately they were already closed so we did a quick parking lot tour (which still had a beautiful path to the ticket booth) and then stopped at some shops and Kauai Coffee Roasters. Seen many places on our travels was the rooster, the official? unofficial? animal of the island. (Or at least most prevalent and annoying.  I am apparently not so fond of roosters running in our condo and into our kitchen to eat our garbage.)

Shareen and I decided that these beautiful flowers looked better in our noses than our hair.  Added bonus -  the smell is constantly with you!

Beach time:

On our last Marc had a great time boogy boarding with his mom.  This sure is a fun family pastime!

 

The sun has now set on our lovely Hawaiian adventure. Until next time . . .
