2/13 A Day at Camp

We woke up this morning to a beautiful day. After breakfast, I got started on the cooking. I made key lime pie and cornbread for the going away party for Alan and Leilani tonight and then made a batch of cherry/almond muffins to have with our oatmeal for breakfast this week. Dave swept the kitchen and the community room. After showering and starting some laundry, we went up to the two lookout spots above the camp to take some pictures of the Na Pali coast. When we came back down, we stopped at the restaurant next to the museum for lunch and then headed about a mile down the road to the only telephone pole where you can get cell phone reception. We called the kids and it sounds like everything is going well at home except that it has been cold. We are now back at camp and I am finishing the laundry. We will sweep out our room tonight so that it will be clean for the next people when we move to the Cottage tomorrow. Everyone will be gathering here at 5 for the party so we want to have everything ready for them. We lazed around camp this afternoon just reading and enjoying the sunshine. At 4:30 we started getting ready for the party. Katie and Jim came as well as Eben and his girlfriend, Tammy. Mike and his friend Michelle came. Mike worked here just before we came and Michelle is from Germany. The six of us volunteers made up the rest of the party. Everyone brought something to share so we had cooked wild pig, pork and cabbage, chicken and rice stir-fry, salad, Lilokoi pie, Annie bars (which are like peanut butter rice krispie bars as well as what we had made. We had a wonderful feast, told some great stories and had a wonderful send-off for Leilani and Alan. We cleaned up and went to read in bed.
