Funniest Day EVER!

I think today definately had to be the funniest day we had. Our abs sure got a work out!!

We started out the day going to the North Shore to see some pretty big waves. There were lots of surfers and Mark got some pretty good footage on our video camera. ("Best video camera ever!" - Says Mark.) We sat there for about 45 minutes, until Uncle Bill got so hungry he couldn't take it anymore. Along with the North Shore was the annual trip to the Dole Plantation for Dole Whips - we couldn't miss that!!

We then went on a search for Jack's on our way back to Lanikai, our new favorite beach. After passing three McDonalds, all Uncle Bill could say was "If you pass one more McDonalds without stopping, I'm going to strangle you!!!" But still... we kept driving... (and dad is still miraculously alive!!) It wasn't until we found every fast food joint BUT Jack's that we pulled over into a Burger King parking lot and asked some random guy for directions. He was in the middle of a cellphone conversation, so to get his attention dad and uncle bill yelled, "HEY! Can you help us? It's an EMERGANCY!!!!" He dropped the phone right away and offered his assistance... when dad asked "Where's the nearest Jack in a Box?" The guy said "Thats not an emergancy!! You guys are killing me!!!" But, even though he was a little ticked.. he gave us directions, and at last, uncle bill had his Jumbo Jacks (three to be precise).

We finally got to Lanikai just in time for the sun to go down behind a mountain, (more like a giant hill). But still, we sat and enjoyed the beautiful view and took naps.

After leaving the beach we headed home via the Pali Highway and stopped off at the Pali lookout. There Mark played Tarzan and swung on some vines (again, we got some GREAT footage of that, thanks to our handy video camera!!) And then my dad tried.... lol... need I say more?? (Don't worry... we got that on video too!!)

We then headed back to the hotel to watch the sunset, play Quiddler and then walk down Kalakuawa to watch people. Mark and I then walked down to the International Market place and now we are heading back to our hotel to call it a night.

To morrow the boys are golfing at Hawaii Kai and us girls will hang out at the pool until the boys come back to meet us on Waikiki Beach.

Some other funny moments of the day that I don't want to forget:

"You betcha!" = "You bitch ya!"

"...touching me... touching you... SWEET CAROLINE!!"

The army dude popping out of his A.P.C. and saluting us... while dad tried to sign to him that his signal light was still on. (I guess you had to be there).
