Subject: Day 2 in Kauai, Hawaii

Hi,

We were up early when we heard the patter of little feet and loud voices at 6:30 AM.  Josh said that he is glad he and Kaija are downstairs so they don't hear anything.

After breakfast and making lunches, we headed off to see 'Spouting Horn'. It was amazing to see as was the coast line.  It reminded me of the Oregon Coast--the blow holes, only it was much warmer and we didn't get wet watching it.

We then drove to Hanalei Bay passing lush green scenery, as well as taro fields along the way.  The clouds were obscuring the mountaintops and although we saw no rain we drove through roads that were wet with standing puddles.  We stopped at Hanalei Beach along the north shore to have lunch and see the surfers. Here ee had sprinkles of mist.  The guys all decided to swim and Boogie Board for a couple hours while I watched the kids play in the sand and Katherine and Kaija walked down the shoreline to see Lumahai where South Pacific was filmed.  

While the kids napped we headed south driving for an hour to Lydgate Beach.  The guys had hoped to do more boogie boarding however, the waves were fast and furious and it wasn't a beach that we could see others boarding on.  We walked about 300 feet north to a breakwater where we were able to swim as we watched the water break over the tops of the rocks--and the kids could build castles in the sand; Ella enjoyed burying herself up to her neck with sand.  

After eating burgers and fries at Bubba Burgers, we all headed for home.  We are all very sun-kissed and tired.
