We had such a great adventure today with our friends(Lauren, Charlie and Alex) who live across the street from us. Darrick is out to sea for 2 days so it always helps to get out of the house. I watched Charlie and Alex for about an hour and a half this morning while their mom went to the doctor. What a busy morning I had with 4 boys!
Then we packed up and enjoyed a beautiful ride to North Shore. We first stopped to feed some horses, at a ranch, some carrots but they were across the field and not interested in coming over to us. So then we headed for turtle beach which is known for sea turtles that swim in the ocean and sun bathe on the shore. Well, this was strike two: no turtles today! There was one swimming in the water but we could not see him very good. But the ocean was beautiful and we took a nice picture that you can see below.
Then we headed to Lauren's favorite sandwich shop: Storto's Deli and Sandwich Shoppe. It was so, so good! They serve their sandwiches on sweet hawaiian bread, I can't wait to go back! We ate it in the car enjoying the view of the beach.
The we headed to the Dole plantation. For the first time in my life I saw how pineapple grow, I was quite surprised. See picture below. Then we fed the koi fish in the pond. They went crazy for the food and splashed water on us. All of the sudden, Micah was crying and was so upset because his slipper fell in the koi pond. Thankfully they were not interested in eating it! We found an employee who fished it out with a net! We then tried their famous dole pineapple whip. It is a pineapple sherbert and so refreshing and yummy! We then rode the dole train and then headed back for home.
There is so much to see here, we are having a great time!

I LOVE reading your daily posts!!! It's like I'm experiencing a Hawaiian vacation while sitting at my computer. :o) I'm so glad that you and the buys get to go on such cool outings and learn about the animals and plants in Hawaii. (I had NO IDEA pineapples grew like that! But I guess I never even gave it a second thought - I go to Ralphs and the pineapples are there in the produce section; I don't even think about how they come to be and end up in my local grocery store.) Thanks for letting us in on your lives. I love you guys!
Oh, that pineapple sherbert sounds soooo good! And to share it with friends, even better!
