MAY 30TH, 2ND DAY IN KAUAI


We all woke up early Sunday morning, even though we were very tired. We had all stayed up late visiting. Our bodies were still on Mountain and Pacific time, which is 3 or 4 hours earlier than Hawaii time. Everyone pitched in to make breakfast and then some of us went to the Hanaleai Branch for church. The small building was very full with visitors and we all enjoyed the talks that were given and the spirit of that tiny branch.

Paisley and Creed had fun together and she could make him laugh

When we got back from church, most of us took a little nap to try to catch up from the time change. When we had checked in the day before, we were able to check out boogie boards and coolers to use for the week. That was a nice perk. We drove down to Hanalei and EVERYONE else had the same idea and the beaches were packed. We ended up at Hanalei Bay and fought the wind and sand to walk across the beach.

Do you think we had Creed bundled tooooo much?

Paisley did not take well to the sand and water. She eventually let Laurel and Brady take her into the ocean and would sit and walk a little on the sand. Of course, the big boys loved the sand for football. They played a competitive game with each other.

Paisley doesn't like the sand at all

Laurel took little steps to get Paisley in the water

Maybe daddy can persuade Paisley that the water is fun

Success---Paisley is in the water

All the boys had such a good time together all week long

Colton and Cannon loved the boogie boards

Youngest---Oldest---Palest

To take a question from Sesame Street, "Which one of these is not like the other?"

Since we had rented 3 mini-vans, we divided up and some of us went back to the condos and the boys all stayed to finish their intense football game in the sand and water. We had such a relaxing night around the pool where we were able to grill hotdogs and hamburgers. We also got in a card game or two before everyone went to bed. Such a good day!
