when it rains, it POURS!

This week the weather has been absolutely amazing. We've spent the days at the beach. Saturday we hit the farmer's market and were at the beach by 10:30. When we got in the car to leave it was 5:15. I don't know how I could be productive living here when there is so much natural beauty to be enjoyed, but I'd sure be willing to give it a shot :)

Kauai does have its share of rain, mostly in the winter months. In fact, I think it rains the most on Kauai compared to the other islands...but as quick as the rain hits, it is gone. And the north shore is so lush. There is even a noticeable difference when you drive further south to Poipu. It's much drier. There are some downpours which are awesome and energetic and very exciting, especially when they happen at night. Last Sunday we had a crazy rainstorm! It felt like there were waterfalls coming off the roof all over. It lasted an hour or so. Zig and the kids decided to go for a swim in the rain. They had an absolute blast. It still baffles me how it can rain so hard and hours later everything is totally dry.
