We took a trip out to the church where we spread Bill's ashes. Kevin and Tandy wanted to see where we had done that. So we stopped at the winery along the way, and we stopped at Gramma's and picked up a picnic. We stopped at the windmills and had our picnic there. The kids were pretty stoked to watch those giants go round and round.
Every time we go out there I am astounded yet again by the beauty and peacefulness of the place. It feels good knowing part of Bill is there. We stayed quite a while and just enjoyed it. The wind blows there, hard, so you never feel too hot.
We have been over to this one particular beach and we are heading back again this morning. Its beside a fantastic playground and the beach itself is perfect for kids, beginner paddle boarders, chickens like me....Its really shallow and stays shallow waaaaaay out far. The waves are big enough to be fun but never that big that they cause trouble. Fenton paddled way out on his boogie board and Elise swam like a duck nearer the shore. I sat around like a giant beached whale, in the really really warm water. Actually the water was warmer than the pool!
Monte and I took off yesterday afternoon and went to Kahului. I needed to do a few things, getting ready to go home. I think, and he would never ever say this, but I think he has had it with kids. As much as he loves those two, the noise is getting to him. Hahaha!! He says he is never having kids!
They ARE noisy, no doubt about that. And Fenton pulls large fronds off the foliage, picks stones from the gardens, spreads crap all over the lawn and I just know that its giving the boys that work around here the shivers. They live and breathe 'cleanliness and order' on these grounds and I think Fenton is going to give them a run for their money this summer!!!
As much as I love it here and spending time with this little family, and it has been fantastic I must say, I am really ready to go home. I am anxious to see my house, my doggie, my flower beds and my family. We still have a couple of things on our list though. We have to do the banana bread trail and go to Lahaina Front street shopping. And I need to start packing some things I want to bring home. I will be making only one more trip back here before putting the place up for sale next June. TTYL ps: I tried and tried to put pics on here but we have the most antiquated ridiculous internet and they just won't go. I shall post some on face book for those of you that can see them there...nothing exciting though I am afraid!
