Last night on Kauai on the beach

Our last night on Kauai. Steve, Doug and I went down to the beach at sunset and watched the sunset, a few military ships float by and also the very full moon come up behind us.

Here is the last video clip from our house area beach on Kauai. I did this video special for Ethan, Bethany and Josh, after seeing Bethany's BLOG and how he reacted. So here is one more for you.

Cave and a sunset on Kauai

Here is a self pic on the beach. It was another beautiful one!

A couple of videos here. One from the dry cave on the north side of the island. I have been to the wet one before, but this one is the dry one. It is a really cool cave, plenty deep and what is weird is that there was no echo.

The other video is from the beach right outside of our home. We are swimming off this beach each morning before work and later after work in the afternoon.

Today was an interesting day. I had an interview for a different sort of position within Pioneer. I was hired this morning, as the DuPont Production System Champion for Pioneer. It will mean a different sort of work, and another opportunity to continue my learning. I believe it to be a good fit. I am actually hoping for less travel than I am doing today.

Waimea Canyon on Kauai

Today was a great day on Kauai. After a great breakfast of Loco Moco - I had the double with extra meat, and cheese it was off to the Waimea Canyon and a little hiking in the rain. Of course it was raining when you are that close to the wettest spot on earth. The hike was a little slippery, but Steve Claussen and I did ok. Here area few pics and video from the top of the ridge.

Oahu and more

This is a tree at the plant and it smells great, not sure what it is but I wish I could grow them in Iowa.

This is the beach in the morning, and this is where I take that morning swim that I keep talking about. Nothing like the ocean at sunrise!

This is the front of the house that we are staying at on the north shore of Oahu. The patio is great and is where I have spent most of my time.

Well the Hawaii adventure/work continues. Today was again just another day of starting the day off with a swim in the ocean, some Guava nector and some quiet time on the patio with prayer and ocean waves. Ok, not your typical day for an Iowan boy, but one that I have been blessed with over the past 4 with another week to go. Tomorrow we are off to Kauai and our other home for a week. Pete Sorenson will join the band on Saturday, I just hope that he is for it. We are a hardy group.

I am going to be a GRANDPA again! Bethany is expecting late Feb or early March. I am so excitied and this is great! Here is pic of Ethan giving some love to his current baby. I can only imagine this new babe getting swamped with love, from him, me, mom and well there is Grandma as well. I again am so excitied.

Hawaii

I know this is probably going to get little sympathy, but I am in Hawaii on business for the next two weeks. The first week on Oahu on the north shore and the second week on Kauai. Here are a few pics from the house that we are staying at. The mornings prior to work have been time to get in an ocean swim and a little time thinking over life.
