kauai the series- #4 drink coconut milk

#4 on the list was from the little miss. for weeks before we left she talked

about how she couldn't wait to try the milk from a coconut. she had found

some on the beach when we first arrived and tried to get the milk out herself,

but that was a pretty hopeless task. we ended up going to the farmer's market

(#18 on the list for me) and buying one for her there. they had the much

needed tools you need to open a coconut. the end result is as follows...

tried it,

didn't really like it,

so she gave the little fella a try,

he didn't like it either,

so the mister ended up drinking it

and she got this yummy chocolate

covered banana instead.

kauai the series- #21 get shave ice

we were excited to be in kauai. we hadn't been in three years,

we were celebrating our 10 year anniversary and i think we thought it

would be just like our honeymoon all over again. think again my friend is what

i would tell myself now. 10 years ago our two precious littles did not exist and

laying on the beach relaxing just no longer exists. so after a little frustration we decided

that in order to make everyone happy and to make sure everyone got to do what

they wanted we would make a list. this turned out to be a very good idea that

made our trip much more pleasant. # 21 on our list was to get shave ice.

we did this of course more than once, but here is our first visit to JO-JO's on

the west side at what we think is the best shave ice ever...

not sure about this at first, but after one

bite he was hooked like the rest of us

waiting for her keiki's delight

rainbow shave ice w/vanilla ice cream

pure cuteness

just a bit of advice... don't share with the mister,

he'll eat it all!

hawaiian bliss

worth the wait

we heart JO-JO's
