	The real focus of this picture is in the plastic bag - a small Gecko was captured by this band, displayed for this photo, then promptly "lost" in our apartment. They say it is good luck to have a Gecko in your living quarters. We'll see.
	This is Wailua Beach, just across the street from Coco Palms where Elvis filmed the Blue Hawaii wedding scene. Beyond splashing in the waves, the kids were excited to find a dead blowfish on shore. We have spared you the photo.
	Michael, a great lover of crabs legs, has captured a very small morsel crawling on the sands of Anahola Bay. We let him go after transporting the creature via a plastic cup to the Na Pali Coast. (FYI - that last sentence refers to the small crab!).
	At Haena Beach, where the Na Pali Coast begins, a beautiful rainbow formed in the sky above Robynne and Sara in this picture, but it doesn't show up very well. Haena State Park was chosen as the background setting for "Bali Hai" in the movie South Pacific.
	Near Haena Beach is Maniniholo Dry Cave, the remains of a lava tube. Ancient legend claims that this cave was dug in search of evil spirits who stole the people's fish. We walked to the back (about 200 feet) to take this picture.
	Beyond the difficulty of choosing which of the many flowers they would wear, these cousins also had to do much research with local natives to ensure the flowers were placed behind the correct ear (designating their "availability").
