Great view of the Dole pineapples being harvested. It takes 18 months to grow a pineapple..we have seen these little pineapples from their planting to their picking..how cool!!
Go Hunter!!
A great day of snorkeling and getting thrashed by the waves at Electric Beach..this is one of our favorite dive spots...too bad all the scuba gear was already on its way to Colorado...we saved the boogy boards out for some fun in the waves!
Hunter's plan to ride this wave on a noodle didn't quite pan out...he ended up with sand in every open hole of his body..including his mouth!
We saw this interesting crab while snorkeling..I thought he looked like one of the characters on Lilo and Stitch....he looked to be almost a foot wide.
This is Hunter staring into the tubes out at "the box"..the fish love the warm water that is shot out of the tubes from the electric plant on land...the ocean water is used to cool the turbines and then shot out into the ocean. Jason was carried away by the surface current and had to swim all the way back..poor guy.
Our last time out at Ka'ena Point. We walked out along the beautiful rocky coast, picked up sea glass and enjoyed one of my favorite places on Oahu
Ashley went to swim practice while we were enjoying the point..given a choice of hiking or swimming with friends, we should have know which she would choose
Aaaaah, Chinatown! We had never been to this very cultural area in downtown Honolulu. Several blocks that are full of markets, shops and interesting finds. Hunter was amazed by the types of food for sale, to include this pig's head and feet. Look closely, the shop owner is waving the pig's ear at Hunter. Ashley found this to be a little too much and ran outside to fresh air and no animal parts in cases..I'm not sure that she'll ever venture into another area like this again.
The kids were amazed by all the abalone attached to the glass. They were not interested in tasting one at all!
Does this building look familiar? It's the opening scene for the old Hawaii Five-O show. This is the Ilikai hotel where McGarrett stands on the balcony overlooking Honolulu.
Oh, how we love living in Hawaii!
Rabbit Island is on the left and Turtle Island is directly behind the kids. We have fun exploring the shore near the Makapu'u Lighthouse.
That is Makapu'u Lighthouse on the tip of the cliff.
Halona Blow Hole...not much of a swell today, so the blowhole was more of a sputter
Halona Cove, better known as the Here to Eternity Beach...famous for the love scene in the movie
