A hiking we will go...

Thanks for the therapy ladies. On Travis' day off we went out looking for some fun and found it in nature. I am just going to have to shift my expectations and find comfort in other places than I am used to.

We all piled into the car (Haui doesn't miss a thing) and headed toward the coast for a beautiful hike. Travis carried Eve in the Kelty on his back and Veda held her own really well. We hiked to a beautiful secluded beach where we played and rested. On our way back, we hiked out onto the lava rocks where there were many tide pools filled with fun creatures. We found sea urchins, starfish, hermit crabs, fish, etc. I am not an outdoorsy girl, but this was actually fun!





This is the reward after getting rained on during a hike.

This is actually the end of the rainbow, right in front of us! It was so weird - the rainbow started gradually moving toward us until we could see the end of it right there. No pot of gold as you can see.


We followed up our trek with a trip to the best ice cream stop on Kauai. It was truly amazing! The girls had "Tu Tu's concoction", mango and passionfruit sorbet with coconut ice cream. It was so good! I had "kauai pie" - just listen to what's in this: Kona coffee ice cream, chocolate fudge, toasted coconut, toasted macadamia nuts, and pie crust bits all in a homemade waffle cone. It really was as good as it sounds. YUMMY!!

I still cannot believe you LIVE here. What beautiful pics. Only in Hawaii could you see the end of a rainbow.

OK, that ice cream thing-a-ma-bop must be MINE. I'm flying out to see you and the 1st place we're going is there.

Great & sexy pic. of YOU, by the way - hot mama!!!

Hey we had icecream there too! I know just where it is! Super yummy choices. Your hike sounds awesome. And just so you know for next time the Leprechauns in Kaui wear hula skirts and hide their gold in coconuts!

30 years of life and never seen the end of a rainbow...thanks for showing me my very first one!! And, to be honest, as a kid, I really tried to find the end of several. That's seriously so cool! Like, send it in to a magazine cool.I guess the ice cream was the real pot of gold. It looks like an amazing day. I can't believe that's your home. Incredible!
