Kauai: Day 7

Tonight was our big Luau, so we spent most of the day relaxing in preparation. Maddy even slept in until 6:30 am and then played some with Grandma and Grandpa. First thing in the morning we noticed that a monk seal was up on the beach sun bathing. We had to go see the seal up close. They rope them off so people can't touch them though so you can't get that close. They are actually an endangered animal. (See the seal above Maddy's head?)

For lunch everyone went into Poipu for puku dogs (an Italian sausage with tropical relish of choice). Maddy and I passed and instead went down to swim at the pool. It was too nice out to be indoors.

Jason and my dad decided to go play miniature golf in the afternoon. Maddy needed a nap though so I stayed with her. When she woke up we went back down to the beach. She was hungry for some sand.

Prior to the sun set, we headed over to the Sheraton in Poipu for our luau. Maddy had some fresh pineapple again and really seemed to like it. The food was wonderful as was the entertainment. There were some great hula dancers and an awesome fire thrower. Maddy made it through the first half of the show, but then fell asleep. She was trying really hard to keep her eyes open because she really liked watching the dancers.

On the way home we had the biggest spider I've ever seen crawl across the windshield of our van. I was so scared to get out of the van and have it fall on my head. I had nightmares all night. Ugh.
