Friday Funday
We had the best Friday. Our plan was to pick up kayaks on Kane'ohe but they were all out when we got there. Instead we went to Bellows hoping to rent kayaks there.
Awesome sign on base. So far the ACLU has left the military alone-it's the one place God still lives in America.
Evan showing off this horrible rash he has.
More rash.
We decided to just hang at the beach because Bellows won't allow the kayaks to leave.
The boys catching some waves. Evan rode waves the entire day.
Erica took over someone else's sand castle.
Fun!
I couldn't pass up riding the waves on such a gorgeous day.
Owen and I rode a few together.
Time to get Erica out there...here comes one...
The islands we were hoping to kayak to.
Gorgeous beach...
Ha-I guess there are more important things than beautiful scenery...especially when you get to see it everyday.
Off to a game of putt-putt.

Off to a game of putt-putt.We then headed to the south eastern most spot called Portlock to see the spitting cave. On our way down we saw this HUGE turtle. It was gigantic. I tried to zoom in so it's pretty blurry. When we got down there the turtle was gone.
Diamond Head in the afternoon.
Center left is the spitting cave. The water rushes in then blows out with a loud noise making the ground tremble and creating a beautiful mist rainbow. This area is actually very un-nerving, especially with kids. You can walk around and out to the area across from where we are standing. There is a guy out there fishing and a ladder leading up from the water. Locals like to come and leap off the 65' cliff.
Here is the close up of the guy fishing across from us. The route over is crazy. You can see the ladder. Also in this picture you can see three other islands. On the right is Lana'i, faintly to the left of that is Maui, and left of that is west Moloka'i ,and to the very left is east Moloka'i.
Here is the water blowing out.
Looking toward Diamond Head.
This was our hike for the day.
Erik was so enthralled with this...brain. All he kept talking about was this huge brain someone had in their garage so we had to go back for a picture.

Lance Armstrong LIVESTRONG.COMI have been following the Tour since 1984 and have even seen it in person which is even more exciting!! If you have seen the Tour in person please leave me a comment!
Fire Up The Hill
At the top of Waikele is a park. There is an unfinished section that is just scruff.
That was the excitement for the day.
That was the excitement for the day. "Will You Play With Me Evan?"
Nanea cracks me up. She has the longest attention span, after the other girls are long gone she is still sitting there playing by herself. She has a way, though, of getting Evan and Owen to play with her. Erik has even sat and played play-doh with her after all the girls have left.
Here she is by herself today. She asked Evan to sit with her. Evan and his friends kept Nea company, they did such a good job she asked them to leave.
Aloha, any time you want to borrow a big brother for the girls...
