Chandler's New Friends and the Boys Jump!

Again this morning (July 8th) we dragged the teenagers out of bed at the crack of dawn.   We planned to go snorkeling at Hanauma Bay, one of the best spots on Oahu. It is a very popular place because it is beautiful with lots of fish.  The problem is that it fills up early and they close the parking lot by about 8:30 AM.  It takes a little more than a hour to drive there so we were leaving early again this morning.  The water was beautiful and the snorkeling was great.  We all went  in and saw many beautiful fish.  Austin, Bob, and Jared went out beyond the reef and saw some big schools of fish and did some body surfing. Chandler gets the prize for the longest time snorkeling and Austin is made for the water.




When Chandler sat down to take a break, a couple friends surprised him by walking up his legs.  They wanted his potato chips.


For lunch we headed north for a small cafe where 50 first dates was filmed.  Bill had heard about this local place and it was featured on Man vs. Food.  It turned out to be way farther than he thought and when we got there, it was closed on Mondays.  Fortunately, April saw a fish taco place nearby, looked it up on her IPhone and it had great reviews, so we went there and had some really good food and pineapple drinks.


After lunch the girls went to Kualoa Ranch where several movies have been made. This stop was on Kayley's bucket list as Jurassic Park was filmed here. They jumped on ATV's and off they went.  It was a beautiful and fun ride. Kayley loved It.


While the girls toured on ATV's, Bob and boys went swimming at pipeline on the north shore.  Then they headed over to Hale'iwa Town where the boys jumped into the river off the bridge...see Jared jump!  It was a good thing their Grandmother wasn't around to see that!  After that we all headed back to showers and dinner plus a game of Mexican Train.
