All Pau!

I was the first to awaken and am now the last to fall asleep. I am tired from a full day, yet my mind is enjoying the quiet.

I ran 4 miles on the winding country road. I can now see why Janice says that it is *not* the “good running” that the non-running members of the family say that it is. There is no shoulder to the road, blind curves, and a steep grade. I ran and enjoyed the beauty anyhow. Two miles downhill followed by two miles uphill.

I am very much aware that this trip will not be like any other Hawaiian vacation. We filled our day with shooting a bow & arrow. BoBo was pretty awesome at this. YaYa did better than expected and I was surprised at how hard you have to pull back on the bow to get the arrow to fly.

The boys caught a cameleon and watched it change colors before their eyes. We kept it long enough to take a few pictures. We also fed the sheep and goats.

Finally, drove down the hill for some beach time. BoBo taught YaYa to boogie board. YaYa was doing pretty well until the offending wave tumbled YaYa and board into the ocean floor. (The waves were breaking pretty close to shore). He now sports a sand-burned cheek and an abrasion to his eyelid.
