WEDNESDAY June 27th 10:00PM..... So CHAD Finally made it to Hawaii... 3 weeks without him was hard on all of us. But we are sure happy now he is here with us.
Actually the night Chad got here... we sure needed him because there was this huge centapede on the stairs and phew... Chad caught it. It was so gross... then when we got upstairs there was a giant cockroach.. Thank goodness there was a boy around. I just screamed like a little girl. I HATE bugs!!!
THURSDAY June 28th..... See how white Chad is... Well... it was a very over cast day and we were only at the beach for a little bit BUT.... the FAIR IRISH MAN Chad is... He got sooooo BURNT.. The kids and I have been WAITING for him to peel so we can start ripping the skin off his back.. ahhhh...
FRIDAY June 29th.... Pearl Harbor/Dole Plantation Day... Ok so with only a few fights from getting lost going and realizing I can't read maps very well.. We made the drive from the North shore over to Pearl Harbor. It was really intersting to get to be there in person.. What a beautiful place. It is crazy to think about the Terrible Day back in 1941. Hopefully the kids will remeber a little of this when they grow up. We had to wait for 2 hours to get on the Fairy to the Memorial but we still were able to enjoy the peaceful quiteness that still hushes over the sunken Arizona Battleship.. On our drive back we decided to stop at DOLE to get some of their PINEAPPLE whip ice cream. YUMMM...
SATURDAY June 30th . . . Beach Day. We just LOVE Hukilau Beach. It is so perfect because it is right across the street from Grandma's house. The boys love to boogie board or body surf the waves here and YES even Chad wore a Rash Guard today.. He is still FRIED!!!
SUNDAY July 1st . . . Church Day. . . Ok so I guess you realize how long you have been some place when you NO LONGER are introduced in Relief Society as the New Person. . . after church we went to this musical fireside at the temple and on our walk home we came across THIS TOILET just out there on the street. ONLY IN HAWAII... ok we couldnt pass up some funny pictures. The kids thought this was the greatest. I couldnt help but think of all the germs that were still lurking on that nasty dirty toilet... ICK...
MONDAY July 2nd . . . Waimea Beach Day... We spent pretty much all day at Waimea Today. It was a beautiful day even though it sprinkled a little bit (nice to clear out half the crowd at the beach) We snorkled, ran rocks (chad's favorite part), and even jumped off the cliff again. It took chad a while to convince him to go off. . . Kinda funny... Loch and Chad climb the rock... Chad thinks he is going to go off with Lochlin but Loch wants to go by himself. So Chad has time to look down.. and realize how high he is. So I climbed up and remembered how scary it was for me a few days ago to jump but think I can do it and Maybe Chad will jump with me. Well I get up there and try not to look around. Man it is scary to be up that high. I dont know if the pictures show HOW HIGH it is. Well.. we finally do it. Yes I jumped first then Chad, but we went up and did it 3 or 4 more times and even did a family jump with Loch. Irelyn even slept at the beach so it made her so much more pleasant to deal with. She looked so cute curled up in a little ball on the towel. Hawaii is so beautiful... We are LOVING IT HERE...

HURRAH!! an update! I'm so jealous you're STILL in Hawaii. I miss living there but I also do enjoy living in a more developed town (target & walmart!) Ummm....in those pics of you jumping off the rock at Waimea you're going off the wussy low spot...i sure hope you were talking about being afraid of at least the higher spot to jump off, but still it's not THAT high to where I would think Chad (maybe you...jk) would be afraid....love ya tons
