February 14th, 2010 Hyatt Camp and Snorkeling

Today we dropped Jace and Lex for a day of fun at Hyatt Camp (9am-4pm), then we dropped Trev off to have a day of fun at Nancy and Bonnie Camp... And Me and Rachelle had a moment with out kids wahooo!!!
So we decided to go snorkeling, we dropped our chairs off an the grassy beach (very cool) and headed in, I have to say it was a little creepy, just the 2 of us, with out any ocean smarts, so we stayed close to shore and seen some amazing fish, I could not believe the amount of fish we were swimming with and never knew it. Then we laid out for an hour, quickly changed and met Bonnie and Nancy for lunch at Keokies.



We found it so cool to see Banana's growing on the trees right at our Hotel

This is a salt water pool that is at our Hotel, it has a sandy beach, and all these little canals that you can explore.
What a view, I think that this is the most beautiful picture I have takin

After we all got cleaned up we headed back to the Condo for our "Pina Colada Sunset Toast" and Dinner...
Our time here is quickly coming to an end, I really am not ready to come home yet!!!

February 15th, 2010 Whales up Close

This morning we decided to eat breakfast at a restaurant that was in our Hotel, it was a enormous buffet with everything you could imagine, and very delicious.... I have to admit though, I don't think anything can beat breakfast at Nancy's Condo, with the Island Music playing in the back, the breeze blowing through and the sound of the ocean in the background



After breakfast we walked the Hyatt Hotel grounds, everything there was so breath taking, from the lazy river pool to the flowers and the birds, I still could not believe that I was there with my two boy's....


Around Noon we had lunch at Nancy's, and of course it was fabulous, then we headed off to a Whale Watching dinner Sail on Captain Andy's Sail Boat.

We had debated over and over... Take Trevor with us on the boat or leave him behind, and I am so glad we brought him, he shrieked and squealed with excitement, and thought he was so cool with his sunglasses on... until he crashed hard, he fell asleep about 30 min. into the trip and slept the whole time, Nancy found a quiet comfy place for him...



We saw about 15 whales, 5 dolphins and a Turtle ridin' the waves

It was so cool you could move around the boat as you would like, me and Jace got right to the front of the boat where we could feel the spray of the ocean on our faces... That black that we sat on was a trampoline so you could see right through it to the water.

I loved seeing Trev's hair blowing in the breeze...

February 13th Hawaii Day 4

I come in from swimming to get my phone and found these, Chris had sent me this beautiful bouquet of flowers for Valentine's, what a wonderful man I am married to, 1st he sends us on this dream of a vacation, and then on top, sends me flowers, thank you so much my love.

February 12th,2010 3rd day in HAWAII

This is our 1st time eating out, the food was so good, and they had Tiki Torches, live band playing island music.

Jace was so tired he fell asleep in his chair
My poor fair skinned boy got so burned, I applied and reapplied sun block 3 times and this still happened, I feel so bad.... Dang IT!!!

February 11th, 2010 Day 2 Hawaii

This morning we got up around 6:30, slowly got our selves together and went over to Aunt Nancy's for our delicious morning routine, we had pancakes with hot syrup and fresh pineapple, then we walked down to see the Turtles then down the coast for a little walk. Then we all jumped in our Mini Van and drove down to the Spouting Horn, its a spot where the water shoots up through a hole, and it also a little flee market, we all got us a little souvenir. After that we went back to Nancy's for a quick lunch, then went back to our Hotel, got in our swimming suites and headed for the pool... oh.....there are no words to describe how wonderful the pools are, we dropped our towels right outside our room and got into this lazy river that winded through waterfalls and caves, all I can say is WOW!!!

Me and Jace climbed down the rocks to get a closer look at the Turtles


This is the spouting horn

LOVE IT!!!This is our Hotel room at the Hyatt
Then we went to the Poipu village and watched a little hula show, the kids got to get up onto the stage and learn a hula dance and of course we shopped some more, with no kids let me add Bonnie and Nancy took the kids back to the Condo with them so we could take a moment to shop.

February 9th, 2010 HAWAII

This is our 1st morning, Trevor woke up at 6:30, we got dressed and went over to Nancy's Condo for breakfast. We had hard boiled eggs, papia, pineapple and juice out on her lani ( I feel like I am in a dream). After breakfast we waked down to the shore and watched the big turtles coming up to get air, then walked along the shoreline.

This spot had great big Turtles right off the shore that would come up to get air, the kids were able to spot them really well.


This is a baby Monk Seal that had gotten up on shore and was taking a nap.
This is Poipu Beach the #1 rated beach in the United States.



I dont know if you can see it but to the right, 2 whales are blowing up water, this picture is taken while on Aunt Nancy's Lani.
Aunt Nancy read the cutes book about the Turtles that we seen earlier today, to the kids
When we got back to our hotel late last night, we come home(our Hyatt Hotel room) to this, we decided to change rooms when seen our room, and they were apologizing for the inconvenience. Our pools are open 24 hrs and so we decided to go swimming at 9 oclock at night, it was quite an experience, it was really windy and dark with soft lights throughout these canal type pools, we had a bencher ( adventure ) exploring all the dark crevises and waterfalls.
