Adventures since the sea turtles

Since I haven't posted for a month (other than the birthday post I just finished) I thought I better share some photos of our latest adventures here on our lovely island.  I still find myself saying in amazement "I really live here!"

A few weeks ago we had a HUGE rainstorm that came out of nowhere.  It came down so fast that soon we had a river running through our backyard.  The girls were thrilled and enjoyed playing in it.


Another adventure we had was when we were out picking up some things at the scout store "in town" (that's what we call Honolulu here-the 1 real city in Hawaii. So everyone talks about "going into town" and such. It's pretty fabulous.)  We decided to continue up the Pali Highway from where we were at the Scout Store and came upon the amazing Pali lookout!  The views were absolutely breath taking!  There were also amazing gnomish/menehune-ish trees and plenty of Japanese tourists to eavesdrop on-it was great!
Hana was pretty sure the tree behind them was a slide for the menehune-I agree!

We actually really do live on this amazing island!

Aya took this picture.  She loves to take my camera and go crazy taking pictures that we find later on.




After the Pali Highway lookout we went to get some yummy Japanese food at Shirokiya-a Japanese department story that has a Japanese food court on the 2nd floor-always hard to decide what to get!
