Spencer Beach State Park

Steve spent the morning working (and fighting fires with Joe), while Jennifer
and the boys went to a nearby playground. The boys met some kids their age and were able to run around for an hour or so. (In fact, M was so tired out that he fell asleep on the way TO the beach!)

After lunch, we took off for some beach time, this time at Spencer Beach State Park. This beach allowed camping, so there were some very interesting characters there--including a man who looked like Rip Van Winkle and his wife, who should not have been allowed to wear a bikini at either her size or age. (Sorry, no picture, as I need my camera for the next 3+ weeks!) We also saw what grandpas do when there is only 1 Walmart in the area--work as lifeguards! (The lifeguard at this beach was probably in his 60s, but he could still hoist the rescue board.)



M & D got another chance to practice their newest skill--boogie boarding, and of course didn't really want to leave. After a couple hours, though, it was time to head back to the house.

We had a bit of a scare when the tire pressure light came on in the Jeep. However, after stopping to check the levels and learning that, if anything, the tires were OVERinflated, we decided not to worry much about it. (The light quit flashing at us by Tuesday morning.)

In Hawai'i, you learn to just roll with the changes tossed your way. That's why we ended up at Denny's for dinner, rather than at the house grilling our teriyaki chicken as planned. Oh well, it was probably the best view at any Denny's, ever.

I like to end my posts with a sunset shot, but we were driving home during sunset last night. So, I'll just have to tell you that it was beautiful, as always.
