Hawaii

This summer after our trip to Oregon with my side of the family, we went to Hawaii with Nate's family for two weeks.  We stayed on the island Kauai, which supposedly has the least tourism, but is the most beautiful and green of them all!  I've never been to any of the Hawaiian islands before this trip, so in my eyes it was the most beautiful place I've ever seen!  We had all of Nate's sisters and their husbands (and Roxy & Steve's kids) with us for the first week and then the second week was just Nate and I and his parents.  We had an amazing time, hanging out and seeing the beautiful sights of Kauai.  Here are some of adventures from the trip!

We went and saw the Hawaiian Grand Canyon while we were on Kauai, it was beautiful!

We hiked up to a look out over the Na' Pali Coast. It was an amazing view! 

 This was a waterfall we drove to, it was so pretty but I wish I could have gotten closer! We would have hiked down to it and swam but I think everybody was a little tired by this point in the day and the children definitely weren't up for it.

The most adorable niece and nephew ever!

This is when we hiked the Na' Pali Coast up to a waterfall. It was an 8 mile round trip and we were exhausted by the end but it was well worth it!

Nate swam in the waterfall.  It was FREEZING so I wouldn't get in. Yeah I know, I'm a wimp.  But at least I didn't get hypothermia.

Sunset on Hanalei Bay. So pretty.

 Playing in another waterfall.  This one wasn't quite as cold :)

Dinner at Dukes with Nate's parents. I got the macadamia nut crusted Opah. It was delicious!

Kayaking! We went out and kayaked up the Hanalei River in the morning, and then at night we kayaked out into Hanalei Bay and Nate and I rode the waves back to shore.  It was so much fun!

Mmmm. Pina Colada's.  Only the best.

 

Nate chillin' by the pool with a book. What a nerd.

Haha I love this picture of Nate. It's epic.
