The Farm on Kauai

The shared driveway or "alley" leading to our cabin. These palm trees are ornamental. (yes I had to ask, everything edible was at risk of being eaten by me ;D)

The boys posing in front of our ride which we switched the next day for a navy one with better brakes!!

The dinning table with crayons, papaya, and an avocado tree out the window.... Paradise!! :D

Explorers

Hahahahahahaha, funny faces :D

Greeting the local Ladies


More Orchids

A ginger plant

An orange tree, or at least a relative of the same, there were a few here that I had never even heard of before! :)

In this pic we have the nearest papaya tree there on the top left, and it's trunk is disappearing behind the out door shower. That was an adventure in itself although the ladies were silly and didn't try it, that was nearly all the men folk used! It came with bath buddies like jumbo snails, spiders, and sometimes geckos :D

More Oahu Adventures

Happy papaya eater ;D
I am sure you want to see a picture of me stuffing my face but you get to anyway cause it is on the BEACH :D and it was an all-you-can-eater with a fruit buffet!!!

Ha! Look! It is Brent again! And another littler cutie chowing at the beach buffet :)

Sorry for the bad color, this was at night, that parrot was so cool, it just lay perfectly calm on it's back, Derek was fascinated, and so happy to get to hold it! :D

This was so awesome, Caleb went from frightened to giggling at the bird laying on his lap, while Derek went through a similar transformation with the bird on his shoulder, it even nibbled his ear teehehehe, it was an unique experience. Little children don't often get to touch such fragile and appealing animals let alone hold them and interact so much :)

This is the Hawaiian fish, the Humuhumu Nukunuku Apoa'a, a store clerk was very impressed when Brent just read it off a t-shirt and said it correctly. I had fun teaching it's name to Derek too, he did very well and could say it before long :) This was taken at the Honolulu Aquarium

One of the many wild lizards we saw while at the Aquarium, there were quite a few!

A really striking bird that was common in the area as well, don't remember its name though.

Teehehehehehe, sorry but I love this cause it reminds me of what he was doing at the time, just walking with a bouncy gait and swinging his cradled arms in a very lively fashion, made us all laugh to watch :D Just kinda boppin along to his own tune :D
This is a large park next to the Aquarium, more amazing trees to be seen here.

At some point the boppin along broke into a bouncy gleeful run across to Derek :)

Hawaii Arrival at Oahu

Flight's over and he's ready to go! But I think that is Nanny's luggage.... Uh Oh! :D

The view from our deck, you can barely see the ocean it is so shining white, but that pink hotel looks neat :)
Aaahhhh, we've finally landed, look Mama, solid ground! ;p

#3 Pearson Clan
Ha! Look, it is BRENT! Right there, in Hawaii!
(there was some confusion earlier ;p)

One and only Tobie Clan leaders ;p

This is right down town Honolulu, you can see that pink hotel behind the tree. The landscaping here was really beautiful so we just wandered through for a while, it was surprising to see such huge trees right in the busiest part of the city.

Beautiful and bizarre
The Grande Finale of the day was an amazing sunset, here are our cavorting (or frolicking?) boys with Nanny.
Wheeee, Look Mom we found the sea!!!! :D:D (splash, splash)

Waikiki Beach


I think Caleb is like Tigger, "bottoms are made out of springs!" :D


Wahoo! He would get bowled over and come out for more, with or without a helping hand :s
