Kauai Spring 09 – Anahola Camping and Trashart

On Andy’s last day we dropped Leilani off at the Little Sprouts Playhouse – a great and much needed addition to Kauai’s childcare

George and Jaddah really did an awesome job. Leilani liked it so much, she did not want to leave

In the meantime we kayaked the Wailua river

Andy built the tent in Anahola,

Papayas for breakfast

We dropped Leilani off at the playhouse again, packed and I brought Andy to the airport. In the afternoon Leilani and I picked up trash on the beach

We made the trash into art: Leilani’s piece

And mine

Leilani still loves to take photos, but since she treats the camera roughly, we don’t let her as often now.

Leilani found a great exercising bench right in front of our tent

There was a water park in Kapaa for the weekend, with lots of bounce houses and slides, Leilani loved it. They also had mechanical rides, when they opened we ran over so we wouldn’t have to stand in line for long – Leilani was immediately drawn to the revolving and rotating teacups – the attendant looked at her and asked me to go with her, but she wanted to go alone. She rode with a 7 or 8 year old, and had a lot of fun. As the next ride I suggested a much slower moving chain carousel – Leilani took a look at the line and said: “No, that’s just for the little kids…” I looked again, and most children there were 4-6 – in her own mental picture she sees herself as older I think. I still talked her into going on the other ride.

In the evening we went to visit Jaya – Leilani stayed with Jaya and Adam, while Aditi and I went to see the Taylor camp movie. I wish I had been there. Well maybe not, because then I’d be even older today (they burned it down in 76)

Saturday we went to Samantha’s house for an easter egg hunt, before we went for a little walk

What – this is a real egg, where is the chocolate?

The egg hunt was followed by a playdate

Miriam and Delfi visited us at the campsite, and we read books together

We also visited Sandy, and Leilani got to see the Lilo and Stitch movie

She looks like a little angel when she sleeps (I think)

On our last day we visited Kika and Tristan in Kilauea. For lunch we had raw chocolate and fruit from their orchard, I have never eaten so many star apples, and it was really a pain to get the sticky sap off my face.
