Spring Break fun

I got brave and took the kids down to Utah without Cameron for a couple days to spend time with extended family. My friend Tiff and her 2 kids rode down with us. The kids finally fell asleep around Ogden.
We visited the Museum of Ancient Life at Thanksgiving Point for good times.

Visited Great Grandma Powell

Cameron's twin sisters came for dinner one night. It was a fun visit. Thanks for having us Spence and Camille!

Hawaii pics, take II

We had a great time in Kauai. This is in front of the waterfall that went into the lazy river.
At our hotel, they had a place to put your lei in recognition of the good time you had and to say "Until we meet again".
Sunset at Poipu Beach.
Looking back at the Na Pali Coast.
I'm not quite sure what happened or why this is so hard to get pics in the order I want them, but here they are finally. This is the beautiful Na Pali Coastline - only accessible by air or boat as you can see.
This is Cynthia and I on the Canyon Trail hike - the crest before the small waterfall. The dirt is red there like in Moab.
Just took off from Port Allen airport.
Before the flight - we were very hot wearing all these clothes, but glad for them when we got up in the frigid air.

Mahalo Hawaii

Cameron and I spent last week relaxing in Kauai. It was awesome! This was Saltpond Beach. My sister, Natalie, and her husband Paul stayed at our house with our kids, and the boys weren't even that excited for us to come home. I guess that's a good sign. Thanks Nat!

We also took a helicopter ride that toured the whole island. Also awesome. If you look closely, you'll notice there are no door on the helicopter. Yes, I was freaked out for half the ride and could not hold on tight enough to the grip.


This is Cynthia (Cameron's business partner's wife) and me on the Canyon Trail hike to a small waterfall in Waimea Canyon. It's called the Grand Canyon of Hawaii.


While I was slightly less than relaxed in the front, Cameron was in the back of the helicopter taking leisurely pictures! The is right after we took off (see our shadow?).

The picture below is our hotel, The Grand Hyatt. Again, awesome. It had so many amenities and pools and was beautiful. I have so many more pictures, but right now am just glad that I am posting this within a week of our returning home. I will try to post more later this week.
