<\/p>\nA neighbor found this kite and gave it to Leilani. She loves it and likes to go fly it on the beach, here South Lydgate beach. When there isn’t enough wind, she just runs with it on the beach with all that energy she has:<\/p>\n

One day, we went to hike at Ho’opi’i falls, but it started to rain so we turned around quickly. But the sun was still shining while it kept on raining, and one of the brightest rainbows we’ve ever seen appeared.

The rain was coming from the west and we drove down to the bike path in Kapaa where the same rainbow appeared over the ocean: Technical note: our little camera, a Panasonic Lumix TS5, takes great images, but its panorama feature doesn’t work well (low res). But Andy got a (used) iPhone 5 for Christmas and it takes excellent panoramas–so expect to see more of them. Actually the iPhone 5 takes great photos too, which is really handy (that’s a pun for German speakers) for those dog walks when we don’t bother to take the camera, but see something beautiful.<\/p>\n Like this sunset at the dog park : This was the first (or second) of several beach fires. It seems like we don’t do any for years, and then we had several in a few months: The girls were off playing and showed us what they made: a little town with houses and roads made out of driftwood. Another out of the way place we hadn’t been in a long time, but then ended up visiting several times recently:
