Trains! If there’s a train, my boys will be riding it! We took a ride on the Kauai Plantation Railroad; antique, open air train cars through a beautiful fruit plantation. Plus the boys got to hop off and feed the pigs. Everyone had a great time- especially mommy, daddy and Aunt Kiki who popped in for an impromptu rum tasting after the ride! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Early one morning we arranged a babysitter for the boys and the adults enjoyed a wet, wild and gorgeous bot ride along the Napali Coast. Despite the large swells, we were even able to venture into some sea caves a bit. And we capped off our trip with a little snorkeling, complete with a few sea turtles! A highlight for everyone!\u00a0\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A road trip over to Waimea Canyon! Our initial plan was to go for a hike that overlooked the Napali Coast and the Cathedrals. So we started with Teddy on my back and Andrew walking. We took about 50 steps, looked at the decline, wet mud, 10-inch trail and 3,000 foot drop-off and quickly turned back. #notforkids. So Aunt Kiki braved the trail and we waited at the top. All the boys- Andy especially- were happy to enjoy some snacks and wait patiently instead of hike! Next time!\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Even from the lookout the views were pretty amazing!\u00a0\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
