On Friday, February 25, Bonnie's school, Sunset Beach Elementary, held an art sale. We bought the colorful picture above, which was painted by Teryl Soren, a member of our ward. Toward the end of the night, they auctioned off the most valuable of the paintings. After the auction, John Cruz, a fairly popular singer in Hawaii, performed. Oh, and he invited a friend of his, someone whose child attends Sunset Beach Elementary. The friend, shown on top, is Jack Johnson, a popular singer who grew up in Sunset Beach and still makes his home there.
After weeks of working on Saturday, Bonnie and I finally had some free time on March 12 to spend an entire day away from Laie. After a few hours of shopping, we decided to hike to Kaena Point from the Leeward side. What a wonderful hike it was. We started late afternoon when it was pretty hot since the sun was in the West where we were hiking. But it got cooler as the sun got lower. As you can see, we saw beautiful waves with the sun shining through them, whales off Kaena Point, albatrosses in flight, and most fascinating of all, albatrosses going through their mating rituals. We enjoyed everything for so long that we barely got back to our car before it was dark.
