I get fifty miles to the gallon on this hog

We spent one of our days in Kauai touring the island on scooters and it was so much fun! This was by far my favorite day. I got to enjoy views like this, with the wind gently blowing in my face (which I love) for an entire day:

The scenery along our entire drive was breathtaking. I love stunning landscapes and we definitely saw many throughout the day. That whole day smelled like rain and fresh cut grass. It was heavenly.
I was really nervous before I got on my hog, pathetic I know. I had never driven anything like this before and I was scared I was going to make a dumb mistake and kill myself, or someone else. The guy we rented the bikes from was way hyper, maybe on drugs, and was telling us that it was likely that we would have a few spills with a group as large as ours. He was panicking and making us scared. We were fine and didn't have a single problem the whole day.

This is what our navigators looked like about ten times that day, somehow we still made several wrong turns:

One of the stops along our drive was a river that had a waterfall and rope swing. Crazy Patrick was cartwheeling off the edge before the rest of us had our shoes off.

Everyone but my mom and I jumped off the edge of the waterfall. I was sick and she didn't feel like it so we were the designated photographers for the day. It was funny to watch everybody before they jumped off the cliff. Some were nervous, others just walked off of it like it was nothing.

Cool Hand Luke.

Josh, Daddy, and Patrick.

String bean Mari.

Nose plugger Lindsay. I think it's hilarious that she still plugs her nose.

The daredevil boys headed to the rope swing after the waterfall jump. My timing was off when my dad and Josh did their swings. Sorry boys, no pictures of you.
Luke:

You have to be sure to watch the video of Luke on the rope swing at the bottom of the page. His legs go crazy and it is hilarious. There is one of Chis as well.

Patrick:

Chris:

Luke decided to climb the tree back up instead of take the ladder. Crazy boy.

My cute dad:

and cute mom:

Seriously, so so so dang good looking.

How did I get so lucky?

Proof that my mom and I were there.

Linds and Curt.

After the waterfall we scootered on over to a huge beach where we were all alone. It was great, the boys got to play volleyball while the girls enjoyed relaxing in the sand watching wind surfers (actually they weren't wind surfers but I don't know what they are called. They are on something that looks like a wake board and they are harnessed to a big kite. They jump waves and seriously get twenty feet in the air and do quadrouple flips. They are crazy and very entertaining. Anyone know what that is called?).

Court and Josh

One of the cutest couples on earth.

Me and Lukey at one of the many beautiful scenic stops we made.

We stopped for Hawaiian shaved ice. We saw some sea turtles while we ate them on a lava rock wall. It was pretty rockin.

Afterward we headed back to the resort and spent some time in the hot tub. I would like to publicly thank whomever invented jetted hot tubs. Sometimes there is just nothing better.

We also headed to dinner and then made a visit to the doc for a big fat shot of penicilin in the rear. Sounds like a fun night huh?
