More of Hawaii

This picture is not here to show you how cool Justice is, nor is it to prove you can't escape Wal-mart in Hawaii. It's for the free range chickens. That's a rooster behind Justice in front of the carts. And this wasn't a rare occasion. We saw chickens everywhere on both islands. From the top of Waimea Canyon to the most crowded beach- chickens. I even saw chickens while I was grilling chicken. The story is that a typhoon years ago blew the coops over and so, they roam. A man could live here on wild fruit and chicken. It should have the fattest homeless people on earth.
Chase and Justice are digging a hole. It is one of our favorite beach activities. I don't know why, but it is so relaxing. What is not fun is when it's time to rinse all the sand off of Justice. The entire beach knows when it happens because he screams at the top of his lungs throughout the process.
This bird is a red headed cardinal. It's a lot smaller than our Kentucky cardinals but pretty just the same.
Hang Loose! These two always get along this well. Right. That's a monk seal behind them. This is at Poipu Beach on Kauai. It's one of our favorite beaches for snorkeling. We saw several varieties of fish and at least two different eels. This is also the only place we saw a seal. The sunsets here are incredible too.
Since I mentioned the sunset I decided to put one in. The seal was on the other side of the palm tree. In the water is a lava flow water break. It makes for light waves and great snorkeling. Not to mention it's cool to walk on an old lava flow.
All of this fruit was picked by a friend of ours on Kauai. The kids favorite was the harry red ones called rombatons. They didn't care for the star fruit. You probably recognize the bananas and coconut. We got the coconut ourselves from the tide.

After a long day of digging holes and chasing chickens, we crash. Chase was holding Justice's head to keep it from falling forward. Apparently it was contagious. Justice is holding a cracker in his right hand.
