Wednesday was our busiest day. We had A LOT of fun but boy, were we exhausted by day's end!
Here's silly Aden boy using a tree top from his dinosaur set as a mustache! He wanted to be like Grandpoo!
Squirrelly boys!
From our house we headed to Walmart where Grandpoo and Grammy took the boys shopping! Aden got to hand pick all of his birthday presents from Grandpoo and Grammy and Jonathan even got to pick out a few gifts too! They were beyond excited! And they got lots of cool things!

A trip to Kauai is not complete without a trip to Puka Dog in Poipu! They have the yummiest hot dogs that are served with a special lilikoi mustard and your choice of a tropical fruit relish (pineapple, mango, coconut, or papaya...mango is my favorite!) If you're ever "on island" you've got to get one!
After lunch we rushed over to the Kilohana Plantation Railway and caught their last train ride of the day. The boys love trains and it was such a treat for them to be able to go on one! Thank you Dad and Carla for treating us to this memorable experience!
Two excited boys waiting to board the train!
I love this sweet face...even when it is THIS filthy. What kind of mother lets her kid out in public with such a filthy face? An exhausted one? A rushed one? One who has a baby strapped to her chest? Um, how about a "all three of those at the same time" kind of mother....
A nice shot of Grammy!
Grammy always makes sure those boys know they are loved! She loves to spoil them with toys and books and clothes and treats and train rides and money and....the list goes on! So many of the toys and clothes and books that our kids have have come from Grandpoo and Grammy and the boys will often say, "This is the _____ that Grandpoo and Grammy got for me!" We are so thankful that the boys (and Elizabeth too!) have a Grammy (and Grandpoo!) that delights in their pleasure and joy!
Just reading up on Kilohana...
Seeing them in matching clothes makes me smile! =)
I love the Ergo...Best. Carrier. Ever.
Could there be a more precious picture? So sweet!
The train stopped midway to give us a chance to feed the wild pigs. I learned that wild pics are not nearly as cute as your county fair version. They are aggressive, noisy, ugly, and when it comes to getting handouts they are, well, PIGS! Talk about survivor of the fittest...or fattest! The biggest pigs would actually bite a baby pig if it got in the way of its grub! I felt bad for the little guys and spent my entire pig feeding adventure aiming my bits of bread at them.
Jonathan didn't bother breaking the slices of bread up into small bits. He would just chuck an entire piece of bread over the fence at a time. Needless to say, the fat boys just hung out next to Jonathan!
Just look at how ugly and nasty they are!
A cool shot of a taro field
A partial group shot
Posing with Grandpoo in front of her "very first train ride" train!
My boys will turn anything in a drum!
These two monkeys love to wrestle!
A brief pause in the showdown
Of course a picture of Sissy smiling is always fun but I actually posted this picture so you could see a bit of where we had dinner. We were sitting outside of the Kilauea Bakery/Pau Hana Pizza. If you ever hear me say that we went to "the bakery"...this is it. Anyway, we had Pau Hana pizza and it was delicious! We'd never eaten there before and were thankful for Dad and Carla's generosity in treating us to it. The pizza was pricey but, man, was it good!
Again, Daniel worked during the day but was able to join us for dinner and...
ice cream!
Thanks again Dad and Carla! What a fun day!
