Saturday and Sunday

Saturday was a jammed packed day! We started off with an 8:00 am soccer game for Micah. Jacob had his last game last week and this week was Micah's last game. It was a great game and at the end Micah got a cool trophy!

After the game we stopped and got a dozen sugar Malasadas-so ono!

From there we headed to the Swap Meet. It was hot but we walked around a big part of it and got some good deals. I finally got my wooden windchimes, Maud and I got cute shirts, the kids got ukeleles and a bunch of us got hats.

Then we went to the Exchange and Commissary. From there we picked up Panda Express and brought Darrick dinner on the ship since he had duty. We left the ship completely exhausted and ready for showers and a good nights rest.

Today after Darrick got home from duty we drove up to North Shore to have lunch at Cholo's. We then looked in some shops and thought we would ask some questions about surf boards. Oscar has taked Micah out on his board twice and Micah can stand up pretty good now and has been asking for a surf board but we know nothing about them. We have done a little research and they are expensive. So anyways we were talking to this sales guy and he was teaching us a lot but the cheapest boards were over $600.00! He told us "Look, I now a guy at this surf shop down the road that sells used surf board. Tell him I sent you over and he will hook you up with a great deal."

So we headed over to Surf and Sea and found Jay. And boy did he hook us up. They said a lot of people dump their boards or sell them cheap because the come to Hawaii to surf and then don't want to pay what it costs to ship their board home. It was crazy how many boards they had. So long story short we found a board for Micah for $140.00! Jay talked to Micah throughout the whole process-surfer to surfer asking him what he wants for his board.

Jay was so great and helped us get a blue nose guard for the tip of the board so it is soft and if it hits Micah he won't get hurt too bad. He also got softer fins and a red leash. Jay gave Micah some stickers for his board and some surf wax.

Micah wrote Oscar an email tonight asking when they could go surfing. Let's hit the beach-surf's up!
