Sunday was a pool day. Grandpa reserved our chairs first thing in the morning. We had breakfast and then headed down. Mom had to take Paige and Manu to the airport. It wasn’t a sad goodbye since we’re going to see them on Tuesday. Later in the day, Megan and Andrew (Allie’s friend) flew in and came to visit. We hung out at the pool again and then they went to their own hotel. We had Paia Fish Market for dinner and stopped at the shops to have Lappert’s ice cream.
Mom was amazed with Autumn. When we were at the mall Autumn insisted on going to the “bookstore”. We figured out that it was this shop that she had bought a book and baby turtle that went with the book, 2 years ago! She bought the other 5 baby turtles from the book and the man in the store let her have the nest for free! We even found a necklace for Allie’s wedding!
Today we had a leisurely morning and headed to Ho’okipa to try and see the turtles. Boy did we see turtles! Look at all of them sunning on the beach. They were huge!
This guy was waiting for the next wave to bring him in.
Allie touched the water.
We were guessing that this one was using the sand to stay cool.
We watched this turtle ride the waves onto the beach.
Then he and the turtle next to him decided to have a race.
The wet one won.
We followed the rules and stayed back from the turtles. Mom was calling some people names under her breathe because they were walking right next to the turtles.
See ya next time Mr. Turtle!
We stopped at the beach at Mama’s Fish House to practice some snorkeling.
Kevin went on his usual search for crabs.
Shortly after this picture Autumn saw a fish smaller than an adult’s pinkie and crawled out of the water, never to return again.
