Dave and I go with Brad and Anne to do a hike on the Kuilau Trail. Sheila Cooper has recommended this hike in her notes about Kauai. We stop at an overlook to see Opoke'a Falls then drive to the end of the road to the Kuilau trailhead. We eat our sandwiches before starting on the trail. It is a beautiful trail which goes gradually up and affords gorgeous vistas of the surrounding mountains and the ocean. Everything is a lush green. Many of the plants look like house plants on steroids! It is a good trail, a little muddy in spots from yesterday's rain. It is 1.75 miles to the end of the trail. We are so glad we have gone to the end.
Steve, Molly, Kai and Makenna spend the day by the kids' pool. Kai and Molly go to the ocean which is right there so Kai can experience the surf. Kai is loving the water. Maybe he will be ready to take swim lessons this summer and learn to swim. Yesterday, Kai had a scary experience going in the big pool, stepping off the shallow edge, and going into deep water. Steve was just setting the towels down. He turned around to see Kai's head bob up and down in the water a couple of times and grabbed him. Kai was scared but okay.
It is Brad's birthday today. He picks out a restaurant to go to for dinner in Kapp'a just a few miles north of Lihue. It is the Oasis Restaurant on the site of the Wailua Shores resort. We have a nice table outside with a view of the ocean. The sun is still bright when we get there. It is quite romantic and lovely. We have a delicious dinner with Anne and I getting the catch of the day and Brad and Dave getting the hamburger. The fries are delicious!
It has been a lovely day which I think everyone has enjoyed.
