Camping at Kualoa

Our first camping trip since getting here. Must say that it was loads different that our camping on the mainland. Aside from the fact that we're back in a tent for the first time since Tanner's birth, the campgrounds aren't exactly what we were used too. The main difference is there is no charge for a site, you just have to go to city hall and get a permit. On the Leeward side on the island this accessibility leads to gigantic homeless camps. On the windward side, it's only at certain campgrounds but you have to know which ones are safe. Lucky for us, Liz and company had scoped things out long before we got here but all the same, the people in the next site over where a bit sketched out for my taste.

All in all, we had a ton of fun. Nothing says Cinco de Mayo like smores and Corona. It was nice to hang out with a group and laugh at some silly antics. Hanging next to the beach and waves all night was nice too. Tanner declared at the end of it that he was "NOT happy with us! One night was not enough! Next time, we are going for seven nights!" Guess that means he had a good time :)

Was that you Erin on the hammock? Talk about luxury, paradise and peace. When you find yourself anxious and just not right with the world, take yourself back to the scene of this picture and relive it. I know I will as I live vicariously through you at times. I think this pic deserves a title. "The Art of Relaxation."

Because Tanner is a kid this may not stick but I found it interesting he had his watch on his right hand. Your Dad was the only person I knew that wore his watch on his right hand. He always got comments on it but it was what he preferred. Time will tell.
