So Bright!

 

Super cool pictures, I got this idea from an email i saw forever ago, didn't turn as cool as the ones I saw, but it make me want to go into photography! This is Sam on Wade's shoulders

Some of my favorite pics from our trip, of coarse much better in person!

Holo Holo

This was one of those boat excursions, by far one of my favorite things we did. Holo Holo charters in Kauai if you go, look them up. They took us past the Forbidden Islands and some others places I don't remember and cant pronounce anyway. When we reached our destination we got to snorkel and that was amazing out there!
We all took Dramamine so we wouldn't be sick and the kids we so drowsy, they didn't fall asleep until we were headed back, which was a crazy bumpy wet ride, seriously crazy! The waves would come up over us at times, people were throwing up, yeah it was great! Sam fell asleep on a bench in the cabin and I don't know how she didn't fall off the bench it was awesome, like the best roller coaster ever!

Sam's uncle Tyler and uncle Brad were digging to see if the could hit water and when they were done Sam volunteered to get in, she didn't realize it was a bad idea to bury her hands . We had a good time picking on her.

The Island in the background is China men's Hat and Wade is wearing a hat made out of Palm leaves

Waimea Canyon

Poor Poor Wade, he thinks we all look like this with snorkeling gear on! He was so much fun on this trip we laughed so hard, he was like one of the kids the whole trip, but it just reminded me of all the reasons why I love him.

This was in Kauai a place called Old Koloa Town, there was some shopping and these cute statues that we became friends with!

What a cute surfing Santa, seams kinda weird shorts and tank tops on Christmas day!

So.... I had always dreamed of going to Hawaii and this year for Christmas we went for 2 weeks! Thanks to grandpa Winterrose, he spoiled us. I can honestly say it is the most beautiful place I have ever seen in my life. These pictures are in Kauai, we spent our first week here and these pictures are either from our balcony or just from somewhere at the resort we stayed at. The ocean was seriously just right there! Every morning was just as exciting as the first one!
It was so nice for Sam and Coby because they were totally content just playing on the beach all day. In fact this beach was popular for snorkeling. I never thought I would snorkel really only because of how goofy people look while doing it., the gear is not all that flattering, but I couldn't pass it up, Wade talked me into it! There was a place in Honolulu called Haunama Bay that we had to get up way early to get in cause it gets packed early and you have to pay to get in and watch a movie about protecting the reef and all the sea life, anyway.... we finally went and snorkeled there soooo beautiful, we swam with a sea turtle he was just chill and we went quite awhile with him until I realized how far out we were and I got scared and turned around.

All because of Grandpa Winterrose, we were so lucky to spend Christmas in Hawaii this year, it was amazing!
