Our Sunday

We had such a great day today. During breakfast we were talking about the next few weeks. It is wierd to think that next Sunday will be our last one here for awhile and then the next one we will be our first full day in CA! Darrick leaves this week for a couple of months so we wanted to have a family day today.

We went to early church, which starts at 8:15 am so it is nice to have a great start to our day and then a long day ahead still. Right from church we headed to North Shore. We stopped at Dole because my cousin Dan and his wife Dee just had their second child(a boy) born on Sept. 1st and I am sending the baby a gift and wanted to send something for the big sister too. I remember that people did that for Micah and it helped him adjust to the new baby. It was super crowded today-tourists everywhere. I even got bumped and pushed!

From there we headed to Haleiwa and had lunch at Cholo's-yummy, but not near as good as Mexican food in CA-I can hardly wait, my mouth is watering right now! From there we headed to Shark's Cove. Last week when we took Karen there we had so much fun. Well now that Micah is swimming he feels more comfortable in the water. He was trying to look at the fish using our snorkel gear which was too big. So this week, while at Walmart I bought him a kid size set and Darrick wanted to see him use it before he leaves so we thought today would be a good chance. We had so much fun. The water was warm and we saw so many cool fish. We enforced the buddy rule with Micah so first I was his buddy. At first I thought he was panicing but then realized that he was just so excited by the fish he was seeing. What we like about Shark's Cove is that you do not have to go very deep at all to see fish. On the way home we stopped for some shave ice. I tried 2 new flavors-pina colada and strawberry with ice cream on the bottom-it was sooo good! Darrick is hooked on ice cream in his too!

Tonight we cleaned up the house and got some food ready for our neighborhood BBQ tomorrow! It is raining right now but we hope it will be sunny tomorrow.
