Saturday in Paradise

Ray misses his garage sale days. Now that we live in Utah he doesn't go anymore - not enough great deals on great items. But, here in Hawaii, he usually heads out on Saturday morning to see what there is to see on the garage sale front. This morning he took Chris along, and they hit the sales. He did find a few pairs of shorts to buy, but the most interesting thing he saw was this bunker built into the mountain:

There was a garage sale inside of it. They didn't find anything worth buying there, but it was interesting to look at.

After the boys got home from garage sale hopping we headed to the beach. Mike was already there, kite surfing. Here he is taking off:

It is amazing to watch all the kites out there. Today wasn't as windy, so there weren't as many out there. Here's Mike, all done, bringing in the kite (not his only kite, by the way - he has several. After all, it is imperative to have just the right kite for the particular weather conditions of the day).

It's pretty fun to walk out on the grass and see all the kites waiting for their owners to either pack up and go home, or head out for another sail. A lovely woman I met said she calls them "beach butterflies."

So, there you have it, another day spent on the beach. It was perfect beach weather for me; cool and a little windy. The sun peeked in and out of the clouds all morning.
