The boys went parasailing and jet skiing on Tuesday and loved it!! Gabriel says it was awesome, "Mom, we have to get a jet ski!!" Too bad we live in a land-locked state, I say.
The girls went to the Arboretum and got a bit lost in the park. But, we saw some beautiful trees and flowers. There are some varieties that are at that Arboretum that live no where else in the world, because they are already extinct and the Arboretum is trying to save them.
Yesterday, we went to Pearl Harbor, although a bit too late. We saw the USS Bowfin and the USS Missouri. Very impressive. The Arizona Memorial was closed bacause the ferry over there was closed due to high winds.
Last night we went to the Polynesian Cultural Center. We had a short time to look at the villages. We saw a singing and dancing (well the end of it) at Fiji (?). We ate at the buffet and embarrassed Bogdan by singing Happy Birthday. Then the big event of the night is the show. Ha, Breath of Life. There was singing and dancing from every Polynesian island, and fire dancing and juggling. And superb drumming. At the end of the show, a man gave Marian a beautiful flower lei, with pink flowers!! It was very tiring and Marian fell asleep within minutes of driving away.
It has been very windy since we've been here. It looks to be a nice day today. We hope to bring the kids to have a surfing lesson.
Been playing lots of Monopoly and Honolulu-opoly since we've been here. We've found out that Marian likes to cheat and Bogdan likes to dominate the games.
