Last weekend we took the time to visit Logandale trails. It was beautiful weather and everyone was enjoying the red red red.
Lana took a turn driving.
Hummmm. A truck hood with three seats bolted onto it. Where is Joe and the ropes when you want a little down home fun?
It seems like such a short time ago that Nate was this size. He has grown so much. His grandparents are very excited to see him for a few days when he visits.
Ellie is a little girl now, instead of a baby girl. We are looking forward to having fun with her also. Hurry up time and fly by some more.
At any time of the day, at any point on the island-Walmart's parking area, a remote nature walk , the top of Waimea Canyon, or outside one's window at the break of day-one saw or heard roosters.
In the mists of early morning.

This was a beauty we came upon walking around Kauai.
Coconut anyone?
On the north shore sits the Kileauea Point light. It is north of Kileauea. It was established in 1913. Sadly, like so many lighthouses it was deactivated in 1976. Still very striking to look at though.

What is the best part of a quilt shop? The displayed quilts of course! This shop had many Hawaiian themed quilts hanging from the ceiling. The owner graciously gave permission for me to take pictures of anything I wanted. It was a very friendly well stocked place.
A whale of a quilt and a whale of a time. When do we go back there?
This delicate pink was near the top of Waimea Canyon growing along the roadside.
This bloom grew abundantly in the forested part of a plantation we visited.
In contrast this small delicacy was growing out in the open.
The proud beauty was seen quite often.
Needless to say, the photo does not do justice to the beauty of this area. Waimea canyon was very rugged and colorful.

I was surprised to see blue hydrangas ( as well as lantana) near the top of Waimea Canyon. An islander told me that about 95 % of the plants are not native. This one had taken root and was growing wild.
A quick storm came in and sand almost pitted our legs with the wind force.
Kauai was having winter weather and the waves were magnificent.
While visiting Kauai Michael and I went on a helicopter ride. The weather was wet and we had to fly well below the clouds. The mountains were so rugged and lovely. It is very difficult to see the vivid colors here.
It was fun to have Grandpa to play with.
Grandpa took everyone for a ride to the lake, with a stop for pop and goodies on the way. Where's your other sock Nate?
