Kaua'i Kids, Sue the Chicken, and Monk Seal Sighting

Where were we? OH, THAT'S RIGHT . . . the Hawaiian island of Kaua'i!!!!!

After a exhilarating DAY ONE, there was more fun to be had. Before beginning school visits, we checked out the historic town of Koloa . . .

Later, we talked about writing the American Girl Kanani books with Mr. Pau's fourth grade class at Koloa Elementary, and then with Nathaniel Evslin's class at Island School . . .

At theKaua'i Visitors Bureau we judged an essay contest about Kaua'i and the endangered Hawaiian monk seals. Here's the super secret code I used when figuring out my top picks . . .

The scenery continued to bedazzle us. However, even more bedazzling was Peepy who was given a lei and her own puka shell necklace . . .

While in Kaua'i, we also spoke at Kilauea School . . .

It was wonderful and so was the location. Plus, we were visited by roosters and chickens!

In the Kanani books, she has a pet rooster named Jinx. There's also a chicken in the book named Sue. I named her after Sue Kanoho, Executive Director of the Kaua'i Visitors Bureau. Good thing Sue has a sense of humor! Look what she gave me . . . my very own SUE THE CHICKEN . . .
