For my grandparent's 50th Wedding Anniversary (which is really only their 48th) they thought that they would bring the whole family to Kauai! They are the most giving people I have EVER meet! Talk about another amazing family reunion. We are getting so big now that it's getting harder and harder for us to all get together. At times we were all together, others with some of the families, and others we just stuck with my immediate family. My family arrived there a day before everyone else, so we became familiar with the area by checking out the pools, the beach, the local shops, and Kauai's famous Spouting Horn.
You can never have too many Lava Flows.
No worries, that chicken in the bottom right of the photo is alive. It's just sleeping. I think that was one of the strangest things, chicken's running wild on the island. But whatever it's cool. Nothing is more relaxing than looking out at the waves, feeling the ocean breeze and hearing a COCK-A-DOODLE-DOO, RIGHT?! I had to remind myself every time I heard rustling in the bushes not to jump... it's just a chicken.
He rarely wears his glasses so when he does, i'm all like hubba hubba!
Our first adventure with the entire family was the Botanical Gardens. They were absolutely beautiful. You've think you've seen all the foliage there is, then you go to Hawaii and WOWZA!
The garden's were so beautiful that we might have even stepped off the path for a little make-out sesh. ha... sorry, too much information. Not pictured: the millions of mosquitoes eating us alive.
It looks like it wasn't just us who found these gardens romantic... 
Another adventure we went on as the whole family was a river cruise up the Wailua River to a beautiful location called the Fern Grotto. On the boat ride we were serenaded by the ukulele and also learned how to do the hula.
He is going to make the cutest daddy!
Up at the Fern Grotto, our Hawaiian ukulele man sang a traditional wedding song to my grandparents for their "50th wedding anniversary". It started off as just the two of them dancing and then we all joined in.
The rest of the day we spent visiting local waterfalls, at the pool, and on the beach making sand castles.
I LAVA YOU!
The finished product. Notice my husbands poor poor chest. The sun worked him this day! A little advice... make sure to lather up on that sun screen.
