Day 6-9

Well, once we got to our next Hotel, getting Internet access was not as easy. So here are pictures from day 6-9...I don't know what time this post will say, but it is actually Sunday morning. I gotta get ready for Church still so this may be short..word wise, not picture wise!! Hang Loose!
Day 9...soooooo tired! Our flight left Kauai on Fri night at 10:40pm and we got home Sat at 3:00pm..seriously... Once again, he was an angle..never once cried on either flight. I wanted to from being so tired, but neither one of of did! Here we are after our over night flight..yes, I know I look rough...I feel rough! And yes, we are trying to sleep on those really uncomfortable chairs..sleep did not go well!
These are my legs..duh..this is what they looked like after our excursion..not all paradise huh!! We chose an excursion that took us Kayaking 2 miles to get to the rain forest..a mile and half hike throughout the rain forest...to get to a 125 foot waterfall..it poured down rain on us..surprising since it's the RAIN forest..we were so nasty afterwords. No, Charlie did not come with us! This trip was like non other in that, we are usually going on excursion after excursion, but this time we spent 90% of our time by the pool and only did one excursion. It was a nice change to just do a lot of relaxing!
Our clean up after the Kayaking trip..once again..these pictures are all out of order!!
Rich and Allene at Dinner
Our little family at dinner
Mutti and Papa
We rented a Cabana because at the second pool there was no shade unless you rented on of these..smart people!! Yes, the book is strategically placed over my stomach..duh!
This is blurry, but cool. It's a 24 hour flower..yellow in the am..orange in the afternoon and before evening it turns red and then falls off pretty cool! On our way out Kayaking we saw a bunch of yellow ones and on the way back we could tell a lot were beginning to turn orange!
So funny, neither one of us wanted to get in, but it was like, dadgumit, if we came all this way we are getting in! I cut my foot getting in so this is as far as we got in..never even made it underneath the waterfall for that picture. We were not heartbroken though..the water was a little cool!
The waterfall..I will just say it looks better in picture then it did in person!
After the downpour..so funny ..everyone had on water socks except us..we had on tennis shoes...people were slipping and falling all over the place! We chose the stand dead last in line an laugh at all those who fell!! So what..it was funny!

Love the white background!

On our balcony..and yes, I chose a swim suite and cover up that matched my sling!! Only you girls can appreciate that!
Another view from our balcony
He loved sleeping outside everyday!

Out in the hammock at the first hotel..we never really got any great pictures..between the wind and Bradley not loving the pictures..which were kinda his idea..we never got a great shot!
Out on a morning walk..love this tree
View from the balcony in our room at the second hotel.
Pool view..2nd biggest on the island....whooo.. Bradley and I decided we liked the first pools better, they had shade and were salt water. Usually I would hate a salt water pool, but it was just barely salty..enough to make your hair and skin real soft and you could open your eyes under water..it was like contact solution.
Another view from the second hotel.

The wind can get old there..there is no pictures of me with my hair down that I am not being slapped in the face by the wind!
Can you tell he is smiling, but thinking " Why did I ever suggest this"..it was his suggestion.."These lai's are gonna die if we don't get a picture in them"..he so regrets that now I am sure!
Mutti and Papa's pictures turned out good!
His new thing..no bottle or pacifer..I will just shove my hands or fingers in my mouth!
Our one semi-good picture!

Balcony at first hotel
He loves this sling..after about 2 minutes in it..he is always asleep instantly!
His cheeks just keep getting fuller!
Same cool tree!

Pool 2

Pool 3
I love all the green and flowers..
View from pool 4
Okay, here is the seal..looks dead right..not dead..know how I know...cause when I was snorkeling IN THE WATER it was like 10 feet from me. Needless to say..
I freaked!! Bradley was like "Go under water, put on your mask and look at it"..are you kidding me......I had my fins on and could not get out of the water fast enough..totally freaked me out...I recovered though! Here is the island I was talking about yesterday.

Okay, some lady came up and asked to take our picture...she thought he looked to cute!! Can you tell by my hair that the wind was blowing!!
We got in the water again!
After the pool time..he was very relaxed!
Please ignore my hair! Focus on the cute baby!!

Oh My Goodness!!! LOVE THIS!!!!
So strong!
Getting some tummy time with Mutti..does the kid get any time other then tummy time!!
Seriously

Day 4

These are all out of order, but at least they are up! Yesterday was another great, relaxing day full of nothing!!! We swam, played and snorkeled in the ocean, laid out and read and then went into town for some shopping and pizza..which by the way I had for breakfast, lunch and dinner!!! Now that's vacation!! Rich and Allene played golf yesterday morning so Bradley and I and Charlie headed down to the pool and swam, read and relaxed..with a Chi Chi!! When Rich and Allene got back they watched Charlie and Bradley and I went to snorkel in the ocean. Our hotel sits right on the ocean so we just went right behind our hotel. Out a little bit in the ocean is a "little" island...seriously small, but we snorkeled around it and since there was coral reef all around there were fish everywhere. Bradley and I said it was some of the best snorkeling ever. Our last 2 cruises and Bermuda were kinda a let down when it came to snorkeling..but yesterday we saw parrot fish, puffer fish..and a ton of other extremely bright fish that I don't know the name of!! It was one of those times where you just stop what your are doing and say a prayer..He is so good and creative!! When we got the the island there was a monk seal on it..we got super close, but since we snorkeled out there..no camera..dang! Anyway, it was a great day! We got him in the pool for the first time..he never just looked blissfully happy, but he seemed very calm! He does have on sunscreen.and some really gay shorts. I looked everywhere for some swim trunks for a newborn and since all the summer stuff was already on clearance..this is what we got...gay, bright green spedo like shorts!
There are waterfalls in every pool...sweet!
Proof of the sunscreen applications
Daddy and Charlie in the pool!

These were from today, but I was so excited to finally get some pictures of his smile..I never got a great picture..but these were pretty good!



His color looks a little funny..the sunscreen makes his skin grayish-purple..nice




These 2 pics are backwards..he had the below face first..then the above!!!


Love this shirt...bought it just for the trip!
He loves to hold onto your shirt collar..love it!
Please take note of his arm through the chair..Mommy of the year award goes to..

This was how he spent most if his day!


Blurry, but it is a smile!

Love this!
Please excuse me in this picture..it's 7am after a long night!
