CIRCUS VARGAS

Last weekend CIRCUS VARGAS came to town. So, Mickey invited me and Bob to go along with her, Shawn, and Kiley. Bob asked if there were going to be animals at the circus (the answer was no) so he said "What kind of a circus doesn't have animals?" And then he decided not to go. I was very glad they didn't have any animals in the show. I went so I could watch the clowns, jugglers, trapeeze artists, balancing acts, and to be entertained!

Not to watch some animals do some tricks - knowing that behind the scenes they are beaten and tortured and who knows what else~

And I will say that I sure was entertained!
Kiley and I both got light up Swords - they were fun!
I think Kiley's favorite thing was the popcorn -

She ate a lot of it!!


I think Bob was sorry he missed it - after all!

Our Sports Day

One of our activities was to rent a bike (which I did) and Bob's was to run. I was his companion and water girl. We went on the Kapaa coastal bike path that stretches along the water for 4.1 miles each way. So, I rented the bike and Bob ran the whole 8.2 miles. That was a fun day (for me anyways).

Along the way, I saw this guy that had no shirt on - WOW!!!
What a HOTTIE!!! I know what you're thinking!! That's right - he's in such great shape!!
Well, what do you expect - running like that?

He'll be all ready for the 1/2 marathon in April!!
I just biked alongside him with my backpack - it had water in it for him - (I was the water girl)

It was such a beautiful day!

Those Funny Hawaiian's

So, if you know Bob, you know that he has many great qualities - poem writing, speaking in public, being friendly to people & dogs, (just to name a few). But, I can honestly say that being a speller is not his strong suit.

So, we are staying at the Marriott Kauai Beach Club and they are doing a lot of work in the front of their building - right as you come in - the valet area is all torn up.

Well, anyways, he did catch this faux pas - that I'm sure Marriott wasn't too pleased with!

He just had to take a picture of the sign because he knew that it wouldn't be up there too long. And sure enough - he was right - two days later we were walking past the same sign and we noticed it was changed.....

I think someone might have gotten into some trouble -

KAUAI

We're taking a little vacation right now - a little "R & R" on the beautiful island of Kauai.

It's one of our favorite places to travel to.
We've been here several times and hiked many trails.
We've hiked the famous Kalalau Trail along the Napali Coast, we've hiked the Nounou trail also known as "Sleeping Giant", we've come across many different waterfalls on these trails that have been beautiful. But on this trip we took a different hike and stumbled across a different type of waterfall altogether!
The hike was called: the Kilauea waterfall hike.

We also decided to go somewhere that we've never gone before - the Kilauea Lighthouse.
One thing is for sure - it is windy at the lighthouse!

All along the side of the cliffs, there are birds. Kilauea is not only a lighthouse but it is also a National wildlife refuge.
