End of Vacation and Back Home

On our last full day in Kaua'i, we went snorkeling at a couple of different places. Both were great and we got to see lots of fish. We took several photos.

Have you ever wondered what dad looks like underwater?
The first place we went had some larger fish and they were very friendly and kept coming too close to the camera to get all of them in the photo. Here is one where he was swimming away.

 Here are some where he was closer.

We did get to see a wide variety of fish.









On Sunday, after we went to church, we went back to Pearl Harbor to see if there were any modern ships in port, like aircraft carriers. There was not so we headed to Diamond Head Crater. It is a popular tourist spot and we had some time to kill before we went to the airport. We got there too late to go up into the crater as they were closing. We drove to the beach just below Diamond Head and watched the surfers going out. We got some great photos of the sunset with sailboats in the background as well as of the lighthouse. To the right down the beach was the sunset and to the left down the beach, the moon was rising.






We are back home and missing the relaxing time. We are looking forward to being back in KC this coming weekend. This week, Patti Buhler and her friend Judy Lyons came to stay with us while they attended the Quilting Expo in Portland. We didn't have a lot of time with them because they were exhibiting at the show but we did get to spend a little time catching up and visiting.

The house is pretty much put together now. The pictures are all up and the boxes unpacked. Dad was able, with Caleb's help, to get the home theatre set up and running and we watched our first movie on it. We will need to upgrade our DVD player to Blueray in the near future but we are good for now.

It has rained since we returned from Hawaii and we hope the rainy season is not here already. Ugh! The sun came out for a while today, Sunday, hurray!
