Kauai

Today Madeleine and Nikolas came for breakfast. We went to a cliff where we saw all these birds including red footed boobies! When the red footed boobies were going to land they put their wings out and they stuck their feet out so they looked like landing gear. It was so funny! Then we got back in the jeep. Then we went to Queens bath, which was on the rocks and the waves were spraying up, it was so cool! A piece of wood said how many people had died there so far this year - 28 people! They died by waves washing them out to sea. The hike down there was awesome, but treacherous because it was so thin and there was a waterfall on the side. Then we got back in the car and went to Anini beach (Mom says the kite boarders were fun to watch as they jumped high in the air and soared there for a long time before hitting the waves again.) The beach was pretty cool cuz it had tiny waves and we went swimming. The water was awesome but it was so windy! There was a tree with a rope swing on it. Then we drove to Hanalai and got shaved ice. Then we went to the end of the road and saw two caves, one we went into but we couldn't swim because there were giant eels. Next, we came back to Hanalai to eat dinner. Dad bought a Ukulele and he played it last night. He even knew how to play a song! Dinner was pretty good. I got a pepperoni pizza, Nikolas ate like 5 pieces. We came home and went to sleep. The End.

Waahhh!!!!!!!!! Our last few days!!!!

I'll tell you about Sunday and Monday later.



So, we went to North Shore! It was not very good... Because we got to the Lighthouse before it opened (the good thing about it was that in Hawaian, you do not say red-footed booby, you say 'a!)



Also we went to Queens Bath were 28 people drowned because of the HUGE waves!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They were like 1,000,000 YARDS high!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Oops! I forgot to tell you about the chickens! On one of my 1st days here, we went to Hilo Hatties and Dad, Brae, Poppie, and I saw chickens running acrost to KFC! There are chickens EVERYWHERE! You can also hear the roosters crowing from time to time! Wow! Those roosters sure can crow!



We went to Anini Beach and found Puka Shells, a wooden rope swing. Mom, dad, Madeline, and I went snorkeling! But there was not any fish! The good thing was that I found a Sea Cuke that was about 2 feet long and 4 inches around!

Then we went to Hanalei and got snowcones, got a ukelelie, ate at Tahiti Nui. At Tahiti Nui, I split a Pinnaple pizza with Mom, Gaby, Dad, and Nicko! I also split a salad with Gaby.

I forgot to tell you about A weird store! He he! It said Kauai NUT roasters!!!!!!!!!!! Like I said, he he!!!!

This morning, My legs itched HORRIBLY!!!!!!! I just wanted to cut them off! But dad got Benadryl but in a spray! So now it is ALL better (well, ALMOST!)

Ouch! Brae gets stung!

Oops! Madleine and Nickadas came! Also yesterday, we went to their hotel and went to their pool and beach!

My bad leg

Once upon a time I was a boy and got stung by a sea urchen and it hurt for days. We went to Poipu beach with Nikolas and Maddy. The boogie boarding was OK but I got a rash. Then I was playing on the rocks and we don't know how I sat on a sea urchen, I think that someone was snorkeling and hit an urchen with their flipper and that knocked a barb off it. Then the waves carried it to the rocks and I sat on it. so then we went snorkeling. We saw some cool fish - even some surgeon fish. I'll explain what surgeon fish are, when they get scared, hooks come out right behind their tail, and if you touch them it will cut you. Some of them even have poison in them. We saw some parrot fish and humuhumunukunukuapoaa - which is a trigger fish and is native to Hawaii - and it's hawaii's state fish.
That night, Dad came in and told us we had to go see something. So we all ran out in our pjs, dad and I didn't even have shirts on. And then we ran out and saw what he was talking about. There was a monk seal roped off on the beach. monk seals are an endangered species. And when we were looking at the seal, a ninja guy appeared! He came over and told us to keep our voices down because the mother monk seal was pregnant and needed to sleep.
I also got steroids and my leg feels much better now.

I'm in Kauai

I liked kayaking, hiking, and jumping off the waterfall the day before yesterday. We took a tour that did all of those things, it was so awesome. We even did a zipline that was 450 feet long. And I was the first one! The guides names were Aaron and Chris. And when we were coming back from the hike, I saw an awesome tree that had all these colors, pink yellow and blue on the trunk - there names were rainbow eucalyptus. And there is a shy-shy plant, when you touch it the leaves close up and the thorns come out. Chris pushed me in the water, and I pushed him back, then he pushed me down on the trail and my hand landed on a shy-shy (in hawaiian it's called halo halo I think) plant and I got all these thorns in my hand. The shy-shy plant is the fastest moving plant on earth. We ate hairy berries and guava off the plants there too.

There are chickens everywhere in Kauai. The chickens are so funny, we saw them running on the street to KFC!

There is an awesome pool in the condo we're staying in, it winds so long and has a secret waterfall cave. And there's 2 waterslides. In the jacuzzi's, we went in and there's gravel sand on the bottom, adn it feels so cool. It doesn't feel iky if the sand comes from the beach!

On the beach that's close to our hotel, there's millions of tide pools with millions of fish, and sea cucumbers and crabs.

Yesterday before we met Madeleine and Niko, we went to Lydgate park. It was great snorkeling, there were millions of fish. One looked like a skeleton with empty eyesockets. Then we went to the airport and me and Gaby, Bella and Poppy were waiting at the baggage claim. But no one was there except the people working there. I told gaby we were probably at the wrong baggage claim. Then daddy came and said we were! So we ran to the other baggage claim and met madeleine and Nikolas. Then we went to their hotel. IT was pretty big. Then we went to their beach, there were great boggie boarding waves! Me and Nikolas took turns riding the boogie board.

This morning we saw an awesome rainbow - three of them- they were all in line so they looked like one giant bright rainbow. It was so bright!

Oops! I mean Kauai!

Oh wow! Yesterday was Awesome!!!!!!!!!!! We went snorkling at Lydgate park!!!!!!!! It was awesome because Poppy fed the fish and these HUGE fish were eating out of his hands!!!!!!!! Then we went to Poipu and got GREAT hotdogs and Gelato!!!!!!! At the Gelato place I got POG and I think like South Shore!!!!!!!!!! Then we met our cousins at the airport. Then we went to the Beach from their hotel! Then we went to the pool. Then we went home and watched Dancing With The Stars. This morning there was a awesome rainbow!!!!!!!!!! You could see all of the colors of the rainbow!!!!!!!!! Thats it for today! 'Till next time! Aloha!!

Kawai

I have had so much fun! Our first day here, we snorkled, played in the pool, and went down the waterslide! Our 2nd day here, mom, Gaby and I went to get hiking shoes! After that we did a thing where you went ziplining, kayaking, and go to a swimming hole! At the swimming hole, I jumped of a spot near a waterfall. There was a cat there. I secretly named her Sophie.
