Kalihiwai Beach-Friday (out of order)

Just a few pictures form Kalihiwai Beach on Friday the 17th f November!
It was a great first day in Kauai! :-)

Water Fight at Anini Beach

There was a water fight between Garth, Jonathan, & all of the kids. It started with Jonathan pouring some water over Starlee (she splashed right back), then Garth DUMPING water all over Jonathan, and the rest is history-I couldn't keep track of the carnage after that! :-)

Anini Beach-Kauai

Saturday's beach was Anini Beach. At first we went to the beginning of the beach which was only OK, then Mom & Dad took us to the end of the beach which all of us LOVED! The beaches here are so incredibly beautiful! What a way to spend 2 weeks!!

Here is Shelby with her Grandma looking for shells and just plain enjoying the beach!

Mom & Dad have been so gracious to let all 13 of us come for the Thanksgiving holiday! Here they are relaxing with all of us at the beach!

This is what your face looks like after snorkeling!! :-)

Working on the sandcastles.

I love sand!

Garin hung out on the beach most of the time at Anini building sandcastles, etc.

Ethan was playing in the water here (with a sand toy) and took a second to pose for the camera!

Starlee is having at blast at the beach everyday!

Fire Station-Preschool Field Trip

Okay, my first field trip that I was in charge of was to the fire station in Alpine. The firestation is SO nice! It is brand new and they have done such a nice job on the design! The firemen were great with the kids and answered the adult questions too!

The kids favorite spots were on the recliner chairs (about 10-12). Each preschool kid ran and grabbed a chair! It was too cute! Here are my kids-I am kind of partial to them!

Fireman Dotson is starting to show the kids how his gear goes on! As you can tell, they all had firemen hats and were watching quite intently!

Pumpkin Patch-Preschool Field Trip

The preschool field trip for October was to the pumpkin patch. It was so much fun!! Jaleen(she comes to all of the field trips) & Jenna(in town for a funeral) were there too. The kids loved picking out their pumpkins and all of the activities involved with the field trip. We loved it and can't wait to go again next year!

Can you tell from the smile on Trevon's face that he loved the slide? :-)

Starlee coming off of the giant slide. She had the best time!!

Starlee on the pony ride (Aunt Jenna is in the background taking pictures!). She loved it, which surprised all of us considering her aversion to animals!

Ryden couldn't go on the giant slide-so we let him ride the little train thingy. He thought in was great after a minute. At first he was a little uneasy with why we would be crazy enough to let him sit their by himself! (with us right there)

Trev & Starlee with their "tickets" for the pony ride. They had tickets for the pony ride, the corn maze, the hay ride, the giant slide, & of course a pumpkin.

Trev on the pony ride. He loved it!!

Trip to the Zoo-Preschool Field Trip

In preschool, the kids have a monthly field trip. The first, in September, was to the zoo. Here we are in front of the San Diego Zoo sign.


Starlee smiling for the camera (I think the giraffes were in the back).

Trevon loved to see everything! He had so much fun! It will be a bummer when he will miss them because he will be in EAK!
