What we've been up to

Monday: Sam arrived and after some lunch we drove to Pali Lookout. The view was great but it was windy and chilly. From there we took the scenic drive home. Once we got home it was still early in the day so we packed up and headed to North Shore. We stopped at Shark's Cove and it was a little rough but we went in a little and had fun looking at little fish and building a rock tower. We stopped at Stordo's deli for dinner-so yummy and Sam loved it.

Tuesday: We spent the day at the Polynesian Cultural Center. On the way there we stopped and got another Stordo sandwich. We toured the villages during the day. Sam's favorite was New Zealand where we all practiced twirling poi balls and Sam and I played the stick game! Then we had a yummy luau dinner and then on to the night show. We were so amazed when we were seated in the 4th row from the front! It was really cool!

Today: We had a relaxed day today, the boys were pretty tired after yesterday. In the afternoon we went to the commissary to get some groceries. Then we had dinner at Dirty Lickin's. Sam really liked it-he got 10 hot wings-and wants to go back again while he is here.

I really love having my brother here-we have had some great talks and boys have enjoyed daily wrestling with Uncle Sam. There has been lots of laughs lately!
