~Kauai~ Day 2~

Jerry and Darinda had planned a catamaran boat ride up the Napoli Coast the next morning.  Darinda opted to stay back at the hotel with Garrett, Zoee, and Andrew.  Boat rides make her sick.  I feel bad, cause she missed out on a really fun day.  We saw dolphins (lots of dolphins), turtles, were able to go snorkeling, and had a fun boat ride on the way back.  We were even fed an amazing breakfast and lunch.  This was all of our favorite things we did on this trip.  It was a lot of fun!

This is where the kids rode most of the boat ride.  The boat had 2 trampolines up front.  This was the perfect spot to see all the dolphins and turtles.  We even spotted a shark, but it quickly went away.

The Napoli coastline is beautiful!  There were waterfalls everywhere, caves, arches, green everywhere, beautiful beaches.  Definitely worth seeing!

Lexi's nickname on the boat ride was Hollywood, because she looked like a movie star with her pink glasses on :)

The snorkeling was great.  There were fish everywhere.  We even saw some turtles.  Mckell got  a little freaked out because she got water in her nose, so she went back to the boat.  Lexi was a little freaked out too, I think because we were out in the open water.  She toughed it out though.

The ride back was a lot of fun!  If you were on the front of the boat, you got drenched!  The kids laid on the trampolines and flew though the air as we went over big waves.  They had a blast!  There were times the whole front of the boat was under a wave.  The boat guides even brought out goggles for the people on the front of the boat to wear, because the waves were so big.  It was like we were tubing behind a boat, except we were on the front of the boat.  This was the kids favorite part of the whole trip, and I think the adults favorite part too.

While we were gone on the boat ride, Darinda took the babies to see the birds.

When we got back to the hotel, or I should say the resort, we all went swimming at the pool and then the beach.  We spent the rest of the day there.
