4th of July Part II

After our waterfall adventures we finally arrived in Poipu.  Elise and I went immediately to the "Spouting Horn".  The Spouting Horn is a little tourist rocky beach; the incoming waves crash into the rocks and have carved their way under.  The water then spouts up from holes a few feet in from the water line creating blowhole like springs.  They also have a place for boutique shops there but these were already closed.  And as any good American's Independence Day should, our 4th of July ended with fireworks that we lit off from the beach.  First the ones from the Spouting Horn

This was the biggest blowhole there.  Our timing was impeccable;
we got there a little before high tide when the spouts are highest.

A more dispersed spout generated a good sized rainbow.

In the lower middle is a junior spout.

Besides the spouting, the beach had a great view.

Apparently it became to risky to actually go on the rocks so
they (those un-liked powers to be) put a fence in.

These next few are from our back lawn.

Some family fun before fireworks.

I found some games in a closet.  I decided to bust out twister while
we waited for the dusk to fade before lighting fireworks.

Finally to the fireworks.  Since I was show master, most of these were taken by Elise's sister.  As fire master, I managed to walk away with only three small burns despite the severe wind.
