The latest with the little boys

Baby before his first real haircut!

I am currently doing a co-op group for childcare on Monday Wednesday and Fridays. Jake is obsessed with his BFF James Chipman!

Waiting for the bus to take Jake to school.

Jake is loving pirates lately!

Labor Day at the Phoenician

We had the chance to get away for the weekend- Alan's been traveling so much it was great to be away from home all together and just have fun! 

Happy to have my parents back from their mission to temple square SLC #thewholefamdamily #togetheragain

Kauai

Tunnels beach - great snorkeling and sunset, favorite beach

Queen Emma's Bath - hike down to pool in lava rocks; gorgeous views; no beach; wear water shoes 

Anini Beach - ok snorkeling, less crowded than others

Kee Beach - by Kalalau trailhead

Kalalau Trail - 2 mile hike to beach (but don't swim in ocean); if pack lunch, go extra 2 miles up dry riverbed to waterfall

Wailua Kayak & Canoe - Kayak up Wailua river to hike to waterfalls, Fern Grotto, and swimming hole with cliff jumping. Pack lunch. Wear good shoes - no flip flops. Sunscreen. $85 for 2 person kayak. They give you a dry bag and a small cooler. 

GOLF - Kauai Challenge (any 3 courses for $450)
Princeville Prince - lose lots of balls
Princeville Makai - Overall best; best combo of beauty, ease of play, well maintained grounds
Poipu Bay - Easiest to play

Helicopter Tour - Jack Harter; with windows; take nondrowsy Dramamine; best way to see the whole island; $240 per person

Kauai Sporting Clays - shotguns; $89 per person; great instruction 

Wailua Falls - can drive to lookout

RESTAURANTS:
Java Kai - great breakfast, but don't order eggs; pastries

Ono's - skip for breakfast, ok shave ice (ice cream in middle instead of on bottom)

Hee Fat General Store - Lava Flow shave ice; best shave ice

Bar Acuda - yummy tapas, 2+ tapas per person, pricy, good setting

Pink's - Kona Mud Pie ice cream, our favorite ice cream place 

Lappert's - not as good as Pink's

Bubba's Burger - average

Mediterranean Gourmet - great food (Gyros), dated interior, poor service, great ocean views (right on water)

Hukilau Lanai - great seafood, somewhat pricy, on water, worth the price, order "Mixed Grill", skip the Lobster Bisque

Shave Ice Paradise - best shave ice texture, most expensive, smallest serving

Fish Express - don't eat here, unless you are getting the poke; great for buying fresh fish to take home and grill 

Gaylord's - yummy food, great atmosphere, excellent service; make reservation after 6:30 in order to enjoy the live music

Kalapaki Beach Hut - by the airport; really good burgers and amazing taro fries; serve lunch all day (which was awesome bc we arrived on the islandat 9:30am and were starving for something other than breakfast)
