The Honeymooners

We met Kristen only a week before she married Kevin, so we were thrilled to have the two of them to ourselves for the week and a half after their wedding. Kristen's family had Kauai timeshares, so we only had them at our house for one night, but we had plenty of time to hang out, get them sick, and direct them to our favorite Kauai destinations.

They were both so sweet and hands-on with Zachary. Zac was diggin' it.

Kevin braved some big Brennecke's waves. He'd come out of the water looking like he was going to die, then smile big and go for it again. He caught some stellar rides.

These two were not overly lovey-dovey, although every time Kristen pointed out something and called it pretty, Kevin kept dropping lines like, "You're pretty." Very appropriate for these adorable newlyweds.

We went to Hanalei for the day the Saturday they were in town. Zac probably had the best time, getting thrown around and playing "knock the boys into the water with a simple touch of my hand." Kevin also caught a few waves on a surf board, but was so far out that we couldn't capture them with a camera.

Kristen and I never made it to 20 in a row, but we were getting close.

My fav shot from their trip:
Waiting for Duke's and some Hula Pie:Their last day, we went up Waimea Canyon for terrific views and a few minutes of hiking. We were lucky--clouds were rolling in and we almost missed the clear lookout. We capped it off with Jo-Jos, and then spent the rest of the day looking for Kevin's wallet. Never found, but it turns out you can get on a plane without ID.

Sporting Kev's shades.

Love you guys. If you ever want to feel good about yourself, just invite these two over. You will never hear as many compliments on your cooking and hospitality, however meager and simple.
