This is a picture Don took the other day when we went to the volcano. Before we went to the volcano, we stopped at the Lava Tree State Park. We had been there twice, previously, but it was raining both times, so we hurried through it. This time the weather was beautiful and we really enjoyed our visit.
Today we are taking it kind of easy. Tom and Linda left at 4 yesterday morning to fly to Oahu for the day. They got home close to midnight. We got up and had a big breakfast and then watched a movie Karen (homeowner where we'll be house-sitting next) had given us about the history of Hawaii. Then we visited with her when she came to do some work on this house. (She paints this house and she's been painting the lanais.)
We packed a picnic lunch and took it to Mahukona where Tom snorkeled and Don and Linda and I watched. After his snorkeling we enjoyed the picnic and came on home. We'll do a few chores and maybe rest a little and then we're going to Waimea to meet Karen and she'll show us how we go about feeding her dogs when she is gone. She has two little chihuahuas and a cat for us to feed.
Tomorrow is a big day for us. We'll do the Hawi Farmers' Market after breakfast and then we go to the Zipline at 10:30. That's a 4 hour adventure up into the mountain and we'll zip back on 8 different lines. Don and Tom and I will Zip while Linda shops around the little towns nearby up here. I sure thank God for the strength to do such a thing. I can hardly wait to do it!
Oh mannnn, I can't wait for the zip line business. I'm so jealous of you guys.

Oh, Dana! The zip line business was so awesome! You'd LOVE it. There was a family there who have zipped in Austin before and they said it was great there, too. Maybe you should go zip there!
ReplyDeleteThey loved this one and said it was better than the one in Austin, but I'm thinking it would be good anywhere. They were HERE zipping so that one is likely to feel like the best because it's happening right now.
Love you,

Terri, doll! You would absolutely love to zip. I think you should plan a trip to zip with Dana. The couple told me that they zipped in Dripping Springs; that's where Gary and Teri Whitely live! I had no idea there was a zip line there. Maybe we'll ALL have to barge in on Teri and Gary and zip! Wouldn't that be a hoot! It was WAY FUN!

are you sure I'm not too old for that...I'm older then both of you? dana
ReplyDeleteDana, you're not too old for zipping! And you are not older than Don! You just have to be over 80 pounds (boy, do we have that licked!) and under 270 (that, too; whew!). You can't be pregnant and we aren't so let's GO!
