One door closes, another opens

On Thursday (Alexis' birthday) we flew to Kauai for a long weekend. Courtney, Grace, Alexis and I arrived early Thursday for our first adventure, zip lining through the rain forest. It was amazing. There was a series of seven lines down into the valley. They varied in height (tallest being over 200 feet above the ground) and length (longest being 900 feet). Everyone had a blast, even Coutrney who got stuck in the middle of one line. She didn't have enough speed to reach the other side and one of our guides, Grant, had to go out and assist her. After the adventure, we cleaned up and headed to Dukes for a later dinner, where Grant from the tour met us. Later that night Amanda and Lynn flew in to join us.

As I had been sick for a few days, I cancelled my reservation on the zodiac boat tour Friday morning. Everyone else went on the boat and I relaxed at the hotel. Friday evening Courtney and Grace started their trip back to Kentucky.

Saturday we went to the North Shore and then ended up going on a boat tour to the Fern Grotto. And we wrapped up the weekend by driving to Waimea Canyon for a quick picture break.We were home by 6pm... we were able to get out mail from Libby. The mail was full of fun. Dad sent a box of Omaha Steaks... plus there were a bunch of Christmas cards and a package from Aunt Peggy & Uncle Dan....

Christmas is almost here..... I'm excited!!
