Papakolea Green Sands Beach
We took a 5.7 mile hike to Papakolea (green sands) beach, located near the most southern point of the 50 states. According to Lonely Planet it is only one of four green sand beaches in the world! The green sand gets its color from the mineral olivine (a mineral containing iron and magnesium), found in the enclosing cinder cone of the local volcano. We were surprised at how strong and sustained the winds were on our hike. But I can say that none of us has ever felt wind like that before!

Beech Street Bake Off!
When its cold and rainy in July what do you do? You have the Beech Street Bake Off! Bee made her famous oatmeal cookies, Frankie made homemade chocolate sprinkles, and I made cinnamon olive oil gelato! What was so nice is that Bee and Frankie made their items all by themselves. And, even though we did not plan it this way, the 3 combined made an awesome dessert!
Recipes after the jump…
AHHHH MOSQUITOS!!!!
Ok… It’s Frankie and I am currently being eaten alive by little blood sucking MONSTERS!!! Aka Mosquitos
So since all the rain we’ve gotten we have a more than azilloin misquitos!!! No joke. You can’t really go outside without either showering yourself in icky bug spray or getting eaten alive. Even with bug spray, if you stand still too long you will be eaten alive!😱 I mean I counted I have over 70 bites! I even have bites on top of bites.
The dogs don’t even seem to mind the least bit. Lucky.
