Last couple of days in Kauai

Our last day in Po'ipu was spent at Baby Beach... and I think it was my favorite day. The sun was shining all morning while we sat in the water, read books, and talked to each other. It was wonderful... and SO hard to leave.
Brent did a last little bit of snorkeling here even though the water is incredibly shallow here. He still loved it. Let's face it, this man LOVES to snorkel.



On our way to the north side of the island we stopped for some "shave ice". This is not to be confused with "shaved ice" which is something else entirely. Shave Ice has ice cream at the bottom, then shaved ice with 2-3 kinds of flavoring on top... and it is YUMMY! I was wishing we'd had it every day!
Something that deserves mentioning are the amount of chickens and roosters in Kauai, truly the number is astounding. These things are literally EVERYWHERE and they are not afraid to cock-a-doodle-doo all the live long day. You might expect one or two in the morning, but oh no, these roosters can be found making their call at 3 in the afternoon!
For our last night and day in Kauai we drove up to Princeville again and stayed at the Westin Resort. It was great and such a good decision. We were totally pampered for our last day there and the hotel kept our baggage safe while we spent our last day galavanting around. We spent most of the day in the wonderful little hut enjoying swimming and reading our Baby Bargains book and talking about Asher. We also went down to Anini Beach where Brent tried some snorkeling. But the water was murky and he was a little disappointed. So we went back to the pool and then used their wonderful "hospitality suite" to get showered and ready before our last dinner and then getting on the plane to come home. Home... we were not ready to go. Isn't that amazing, after 9 straight days together, we could have spent another week there. God is so good. We took the red eye home over night and my dad picked us up at 5am.

We are now trying to get back into the swing of things here at home. Brent is off this week but working his tail off on the baby's room. He is so great. The room is going to be awesome... pics to come. For now, here are a few videos from our trip that would not upload while we were there! Enjoy!
