This is the wrong end of the blog, but after a day of activities, Lexi all tuckered out and ready for bed
We spent our first afternoon at Lydgate park. The ocean here is generally calmer and good for kids for swimming. It was a little cool our first day so we just put our toes in the water. Or in Mom's case, she ran after Kylee and got hit with a big wave.

my husband took this thoughtful picture. I was actually whale watching. We went to Kauai during whale watching season, so we were able to see lots of whales, even from the shore.
of course Kylee played in the sand
swinging my baby around
Lol this was right at the beginning of the trip, when Lexi was still doing "pushups" and trying to teach herself how to crawl on her hands and knees. She was already dragging herself around when the trip started, but by the end of the trip she was crawling on hands and knees.

Another part of Lydgate park is this huge, awesome playground
so much cool stuff to do
and of course, swing
and OF COURSe (for Kylee) a wheel to play with
my little climber
climbing up all these steps to the huge slide looked daunting and scary to me...but Kylee climbed right up
Grammy was worried Kylee would get scared or stuck halfway down, because it was a really long slide, but Kylee loved it
naughty Grammy! again...helping Lexi walk
two of my three favorite girls :)
yup, i carried Lexi in the kayak, and I still used the oar. 
Kylee sat in a 3 man Kayak with Grandpa and Grammy - and she never tried to jump in! 
After the 2 mile kayak there is a hike. Due to high water we couldnt bring the kids on the hike to the waterfall, so my parents hung out with them at the landing point and Josh and I did the hike. 
The scenery was absolutely beautiful 
coming up to Secret Falls

this really was an off road hike, as you can see. climbing through water, over rocks...it was awesome! 
climbing up vines...
