When Bret and Meghann were here we…..
- Tuesday- hiked The Hanakapiai Trail (a 7 hour rough terrain hike). Watched the ball drop in New York at 7pm. There was no way we were going to stay up until 12m after that day!
- Wednesday-Cruised (relaxed) most of the day and they hit balls at the driving range.
- Thursday-Surf Lessons and surfed for hours. It was the perfect day for it and a blast!
- Friady- Another cruise day besides the fact that Houston put Bret to work on some lawns to earn his keep. ;-) Queen's Bath. Had some friends over to play poker.
- Saturday- Farmers Market.The guys played golf at my work. Meg and I had girl time while we rode around and watched.
- Sunday-Church. Lighthouse. Exploring. Haena Beach.
- MOnday- Jumped off Shipwrecks. Woah. Waimea Canyon sunset. camping in KoKe'e
- Tuesday- Hiked in Koke'e to waterfalls. headed back home
- Wednesday-Beach day. Stone Dam. Bible Study
- Thirsday- Hopeie Falls. Surf at the Bay
- Friday- Lumahai Beach. Say Goodbyes :-(
Needless to say we did a lot of things in a relatively short time and I am beyond surprised that we didn't loose ten pounds. I mean, we were ridiculously active! Did you see what we did the FIRST day! Hmmmm Maybe it was because we ate too many Puka Dogs and paid Hanalei Pizza a visit
Oh yes, How could I forget? While at shipwrecks, it took Meghann and I about a million years to gain enough courage to jump off. Finally we did together and we were able to capture how Meghann landed. Ummm just for the record, Meghann's landing technique was less than ideal and this isn't an ant hill folks! The impact resulted in both upper thighs and butt covered entirely of bruises. I was privileged enough to see Meg's "in pain face" after we landed and she was not a happy camper. I managed to get out with a pretty good bathing suit wedgie. Once recovered though, we were both happy we did it…even though one of us barely survived! ;-)

Although our friends are gone, I have been very fortunate to be making a few more girl friends here. Gaining friends has been way easier for Houston because there are just so many guys in our circle! I don't mind hanging out with guys at all…actually I usually prefer it but girl time is needed too! One of the girls at the church invited me to go to Larsons Beach to look for pretty shells with her, her precious 3 month old and a very pregnant friend. I was super stoked because I love shells and I haven't had much girl time since I've been here. She warned me that sometimes you may see a naked person or two but they usually cover up once you start heading their direction. Well, as we get further and further along the beach, we keep seeing so many naked people. It must have been some naked holiday I swear. It was all old people just letting loose! I think they forgot about the part that they should use discretion for passer-bys because not a single one did. I was able to see about 15-20 naked old people. Lucky me right!? Oh yeah, I also found some pretty shells and had a fabulous time with my new friends! :-)
One more thing, this past Wednesday (aka Windy Wednesday) there was a massive swell that hit Hawaii. There were huge waves and crazy water. On some of the other Hawaiian islands the waves got up to 50 feet tall! It the biggest that it has been in decades. I was very fortunate to have the day off along with Houston. We got up early, met up with a bunch of friends and then set out to see the epic waves. Kauai is usually quite a bit smaller than the other islands when it comes to waves but we were still impressed to say the least! I know it may sound a bit boring but we had so much fun looking at the power in God's creation!
