Aloha!

This year we went to Hawaii for spring break. It will most likely be our last trip before Tyler goes on his mission. He loves to travel and we wanted to go somewhere fun. So we decided on Kauai Hawaii. It was AMAZING! We had a great trip. The first full

day we were there we went on a hike. It was the Na pali coast line hike. The views were breathtaking. It was a pretty treacherous hike but so worth it!

We waited by the beach while Ken parked the car. Teegan was taking pictures and a seal came swimming up. She said she almost peed her pants. lol

The first part of the hike was 2 miles. It was really rocky and steep. When we got to the 2 mile point, we stopped and ate lunch by the river that ran into the ocean. There were tons of carans that people had built. It was interesting. The views along the hike were gorgeous. Some of the prettiest that I have ever seen. 
 When we started this hike, I had no idea what I was in for. I don't know if I would have done the hike ahd I known. But I am glad that i did it. After the 2 mile hike we decided to continue on 2 more miles to the waterfall. This was the hard part. It was one of the hardest things I have ever done. The trail was so treacherous, I couldn't have done it without Ken's help. We climbed over boulders and slippery rocks, mud, crossed rivers hopping from big slippery rock to even slipperier rocks trying not to slip and fall into the fast flowing river. We crossed the river at least 4 times. Sometimes the trail disappeared and we scaled big rocks that were more like cliff edges. But we made it.

We stayed and enjoyed the waterfall for awhile, then headed back the 4 miles we had come. I was so exhausted and so happy to get to the car when we finally finished. I was really so tired. The 8 mile hike took us several hours. I was sore for the next couple of days. But it was a great experience. I don't have any pictures of the actual hike because I was busy trying to concentrate on each step that i took.
