Month: January 2013

After being away for a month everything on Kauai was all new again and seemed more beautiful than ever… Our sunrises, the nearby beaches, the food, even the raindrops…

We took Leilani to the closest beach to swim at, the little rock pool behind the Lae Nani condos on the north end of Wailua Bay:

We arrived home right in time for halloween. Not Sonja, who went straight to bed…

Leilani didn’t have much time to pick out a costume, so she took one of her princess dresses and her fancy tiara:

Andy did decorate the carport, and Leilani waited to hand out candy…

But then she wrote a sign, abandoned the bowl, and went trick-or-treating with her freinds and Andy. Our friends told us about Waialeale Estates (off of Kawaihau Rd) and it had tons of decorations and was packed with kids.

It really is a great Halloween neighborhood. They even had a whole cul-de-sac blocked off and full of decorations, activities. and treats for the kids:

Needless to say, Leilani fell asleep as soon as she got home.

Leilani and I had a stop-over in San Francisco. The flight was delayed, but we met Lily, Rich, Jay and Elijah for a brief dinner.

The next morning we were at the airport very early and loked at the art.

My laptop’s display died and for a night and half a day I did not know whether I had lost the 200 or so photos that I had worked on during my Christmas vacation in Austin… I am so happy to have them back that I’m going to post a few…

Andy flew home a week earlier:
