Aloha!
We've spent the last couple days swimming again, playing golf (Daddy is 2-0 vs Boompa), hiking in Hanalei and exploring the NaPali coastline. Brady is loving the life, while Cash is still as Keli says 55/45! There is a picture below and it is crooked but it is Cash walking down to the water! I hate to harp on this but if you could see his actions most of the time on the trip (and Keli's reactions to his reactions) you would understand our excitement!
We took a trip to Barking Sands beach with the whole gang and it was absolutely guorjus (as Ali, our new Hawaii friend, says after each of my golf shots). We couldn't swim in the water...unless we wanted to live in the ocean for next 36 hours or however long we could survive drifting further and further out but the scenery is breathtaking. As you can see from the photo...I ran about a mile and a half down the coastline.
Keli and I took a trip down to Hanalei Monday. We passed a sign that read "breakfast burritos" and of course being Texans and liking nothing that is especially good for you...we took a u-turn and went in. Fantastic! So good that I ate one while Keli was shopping and then she wanted one and she got me another one...thanks Keli! We then (on full belly) went for a hike up Ke'e Beach and mountain side...again a breathtaking sight. That is not a parachute on my back in the picture, so no, I did not jump. Keli was holding on tight during the whole hike. Quite comical when a two year old passed her and asked her, "if she was alright!" We headed to Tunnels beach and laid out while I was going to surf...alright boogy board. The surf on the Northside was too high and swimming was not allowed. We continued to lay out until twice the water came up and toppled us over getting everything wet. Keli said let's go South...so we did. We stopped in and ate at Hanalei Gourmet Grill for a bite and no, I did not get a t-shirt!...I already had one from a previous visit!
We got back, spent a couple hours at the beach and then grabbed the rugrats for another swim.
***Did anyone notice that Keli was letting the boys and especially Cash play with a water gun?! Of course they were just water shooters!
