SATURDAY

Aloha! It has been an interesting day for Jackie and I. It started around 6 this morning when I was awakened by a nice little thunder and lightning show. It quit not too long after I woke up so I was able to turn over and go back to sleep. Jackie got up at her normal time of 7 and was unaware of the show we had earlier. We ate breakfast around 8 and Jackie tackled her normal chores of washing, dusting, etc. I did my best to help by staying out of her way! We turned the tv on at 10 and were surprised to find the Cougars playing LSU on ESPN2. It was a pretty good game with the Cougars waiting until the final 3 minutes to fall apart. They went from leading by 7 to losing by 12. Cory came down and we talked story with him until he had to go to work at noon. Jackie and I left soon after that and headed to Hanalei. There are a lot of visitors here now and the town was really hopping. The beaches were packed also with the exception being Blackpot beach. It's located where the river enters the bay and the water there was terrible! Guess that thunder storm this morning must have had a lot of rain with it because the river looked like chocolate milk. We were really surprised because it only sprinkled at our house. We took some video of the ocean where Kalihiwai Stream runs into it to give you an idea of what the water looks like after a heavy rain.
