Just hanging out...
We loved just hanging out at the beach and at the pool. Dad had rented a poolside cabana and so the kids went back and forth between the two. Mitch also tried surfing with Jeff one morning. Looked fun guys. We all got great tans!
Parasailing
Mitch, Caleb and I went parasailing with Jeff (lacy's husband) Russell (my stepbrother) and his wife Ashley. It was fun until I got sick. Yes, I puked on this too. Obviously I get sea sck and motionsickness! Caleb was so brave, he loved it. Mitch and I went up together and it was scary. But you could see a great view of the beaches, Honolulu and Waikiki beach. Great experience!
My Pineapple Princess
We went to the Dole Pineapple plantation which had some yummy food and pineapple ice cream. We rode a train around the plantation and were able to see how pineapples grow. It had a cool gift shop and the boys did the pineapple maze, which is the worlds largest maze! It took them over an hour and they still didnt complete it!
Pearl Harbor
We went to Pearl Harbor and was able to see the Arizona Memorial. It was sad to think about the men who lost their lives and who still today fight to protect our country. The picture with the anchor was the anchor of the Arizona that was found a mile away after it had been hit. It weighs over 19,000 lbs and was found that far away. That shows how big of an explosion that hit the Arizona. Glad we went there!
Helicopter Ride
We went on a helicopter ride and got to see the whole island of Oahu. What a beautiful place. The ride was cool except when I puked in thr Aloha bag! Yuck, I was better once I did and felt not so bad once Tara walked off her helicopter ride carrying a bag of puke!
