slice {DAY 7}

DAY 7: TUESDAY FEBRUARY 4th
it was sunny at hanalei bay.
for a few minutes;)
shave ice shack closed.
for the third day in a row.
tragic.
boogie boarding addict brennan spent 3 hours at it at the hanalei pier.
he swerves now.
fancy.
so fun to watch.
chase is a man of steel.
who likes to ride boogie boards to the "wa-wa,"
but who does not like it when the waves take him out.
ignorance is bliss, hahahahaha.
max is possessive over her sand holes and digging equipment.
mostly just over the holes she digs.
she doesn't have to have it all to herself,
but she does like her own personal space.
she yelled "privacy!" at lot at chase today.
it was so so funny.
we all drank fresh coconut water from a coconut that fell off of the palm tree this morning.
just off of the pier.
that our new hawaiian friend cut for us with his big fat knife.
it was the peak of my day.
SLICE.
just like that he was taking the top off,
3 inches from max's face.
hole on the top.
the coconut.
he paid brennan a $1 to try it.
and then he actually did it.
both of them.
max made us pour it into my empty water bottle before she'd drink it.
sean and i drank it right out of the top.
then grandma.
i wished we had it on tap at home.
then our hawaiian friend drank the rest we left inside.
and scraped out all of the fresh coconut for us to take home.
baths.
naps.
luau.
hula.
flame thrower we know.
heat on your face he was so close.
flames that curved around him like snakes on a tree.
best taro rolls of my life.
kailua pork on a whole new level.
coconut cake. WOW.
and my virgin pina colada with pinapple and flowers in it.
sean all to myself.
dream 
come
true.
driving home at 9pm in an island city that's already completely asleep.
with no street lights.
sean is the master kauai driver man.
i can't stop thinking about the flame throwing luau.
we are living in a dream.
don't
wake
up:)
"did you see what brennan did to me?!"
hahahahahaha
ruuuuude!
look, after 7 days on the beach,
you just give the baby what he wants.
and it's a great moment of freedom and independence.
for everyone:)
note: my hair just called,
and told me to come back.

it was on their bucket list to burry me.
i called this good.
CHECK!
above: freshly sliced coconut,
wrapped up and ready to go.
see big fat knife?
above: just give him a water spicket 
and he'll die a happy man.
THE LUAU
my favorite drink:)



 ...
i miss the way i slept on Kauai.
and the way everything just glowed.
take
me
back:)

My niece is going to school out there. I am so jealous of her after seeing all the photos you have posted. Beautiful and magical!
