Kauai 2011.
>> May 31, 2011
For Matt's 30th birthday present (a little early), his parents took us all on an amazing Hawaii vacation. This was actually our 3rd time going to Kauai and staying in Poipu beach and it did not disappoint. We came here on our honeymoon, a year later with Matt's parents, and this time with Carter! It's been fun to see how different each trip has been and we loved just having lots of time relaxing, playing in the pool and digging in the sand. Here are just a few of my favorite pics from the trip.
The view from our room. Beautiful!
Carter enjoying the hammock.
More beauty. I just love how you instantly feel relaxed and happy when you see a palm tree!
We went to a local Farmer's Market on one of our first days to buy some fresh produce. Carter got to try his first coconut water....and he wasn't a fan.
But we loved it!
Later in the week we all went on a train tour (mostly for Carter since one of his new favorite words is "choo choo!" We had never been and it was fun to ride on the train, learn more about the local history, see the beautiful gardens and take turns feeding the wild pigs!Grandma and Grandpa Vance on the train.
Just a sidenote: We had such a fun time with Matt's parents and were so thankful for the trip. They not only took us, but paid for lunches and dinners, helped watch Carter and gave me a break so I could lay out by the pool almost every day! Such amazing grandparents!!!
Carter chasing one of the wild chickens. He was obsessed with those and is now a little confused why they aren't running all over Bellingham.
Just lounging.
1st time touching the Pacific Ocean! In under 18 months he's gotten to feel both the Atlantic and Pacific!
Playing in the sand.
He loved the sand sprayer and probably would have stayed there longer if there weren't people waiting to use it!
Over the course of the week, Carter really got comfortable in the pool. He wasn't too sure the first day but after we bought him water wings he was treading, floating and blowing bubbles all by himself on the last day!
Best family picture of the week!

Oh, it looks gorgeous. I can't wait to go now. You make pregnancy look really great, by the way! I'm glad more people are doing blogs now- more for me to read during the slow nights at the hospital, night shift is brutal sometimes.
jealous.
