Mom and Dad in Kauai Part IV

I'm happy to report that thanks to an ill-balanced diet of delicious Decon, we have been mouse free for the last few days. Hopefully the mice decided to leave our house to rest in peace. I suppose we'll smell one way or the other over the course of the next week.
Friday was waterfall day for Mom and Dad. They visited Wailua and Opeaka Falls.

Karen and I discovered a fantastic sunset spot last year and we were excited to share it with Mom and Dad. We grabbed a couple of subs to go and watched the sun melt down the ocean horizon. Admittedly, those meatball subs are good!

Zac took the opportunity to practice one of his favorite hobbies--rock throwing.

Saturday morning we planned a visit to Kealia Beach for a stroll on the Coastal Walking Path. Zac had a difficult time keeping up--with so many rocks to throw and all.

The plan was to then introduce Dad to boogie-boarding. Apparently, Eastside Kauai decided not to show up. There were no waves whatsoever. We headed to the South Shore to introduce Mom to snorkeling and also check for boogie-boarding waves. Strike two and three. A south swell churned the water at the snorkel spot and enlarged waves at the boogie-boarding spot. We called it quits and went home to start dinner preparations. Dinner was an adventure of its own. Dad had a craving for seafood chowder all week long. We started with some freshly caught Opah.

Then diced up some swordfish and large prawns.

Throw it all together with some potatoes, vegetables, and creamy base and....

Voila. It seriously was delicious.

We have loved having Mom and Dad visit. Zac will be heartbroken tomorrow morning when he wakes up and realizes Grandma and Grandpa are gone. Thanks for coming. Can't wait for your next visit.
