In Search of Lumahai

So things didn't really go according to plan yesterday, but it turned out not to be such a bad thing. There were only two bummers about yesterday: the first was that despite a valiant effort to find Lumahai beach and look for sunrise shells, we never found it, and the second was that there were torrential downpours all day. This made it even more difficult to find our spot, not to mention that it kind of killed the idea of being on the beach at all.
However, after giving up on our search for Lumahai beach, we passed a field of wild horses, and they were so beautiful. We stopped to admire them, and some of them came to greet us. (Maybe they weren't so wild, but there were no stables or houses in sight.) Anyway, Abby loved it because she loves horses. She said if she could have one wish it would be to have a pony. I love horses too. It was a really sweet, unexpected experience getting to see the horses.
We came back and relaxed, most everything we might do involved no rain, so we just hung out at the house, then went to dinner at Tahiti Nui.
Tahiti Nui was fun, sadly the Happy Hawaiians no longer play there, but the band that was playing was pretty good. We all got a pizza, then had some drinks and listened to the band play. The locals here are priceless, more on that later. I will post more on the lamp lady incident next time, along with a few other stories.
Before the deluge, Rob, Josh and David did fit in a game of croquet in the front yard. It was funny to watch them play because they're all so competitive and hate to lose. They were having fun though. Rob and Josh even fit in a little boogie boarding session too. Good for them. They're not letting any grass grown under THEIR feet, that's for sure!
