Stormy weather, church, & zipline

We had an amazing rain and thunderstorm that lasted for 24 hours. Thanks to Dave and I for bringing this weather with us when we visit the islands. Here we are standing on our back deck that overlooks the pond. The problem is that the pond is flooded and the condo maintenance people are trying to pump the water out onto the street so that the bottom floor condos stay dry.
Sunday morning we headed off to church not knowing if the roads were ok or washed out. We safely made it to church and thoroughly enjoyed the ward.

Our kids would be happy to know that there are still many chickens living happily on the island of Kauai. The population has definitely increased since we were there last (we noticed later on when we were on Oahu that we didn't see one chicken running around wild).

We took a drive in the early evening and stopped at a fishing dock to enjoy the sunset. Here we met Paul, a fisherman, originally from San Francisco and living on Kauai and working as a cook on one of the tour boats. We are sad to say that we didn't see him catch one fish while we visiting with him.

Nice early evening lighting.


A gorgeous view from the boat dock.

Monday morning we got up early and drove to the Princeville Ranch Zipline. While waiting for our safety briefing, we found some lovely orchids that needed their picture taken.

The sun was shining! We were hoping to get some use out of our sunglasses.

Steve the gadget man. He wanted to film his zipline adventure.


Here we are with our gear on waiting our turn for a thrill ride on one of the nine zip lines.

This is me having a blast on the zipline.
