Mom and Dad Want You To Know It's Not 30 Degrees Here

We have been so excited to have Mom and Dad visit us--their first time to Hawaii. I was slightly concerned about their enthusiasm the day they arrived because of the 12 hours of travel. As you can see though, they were all smiles despite the jet lag.

The next morning we took a stroll down to the water in search for interesting sea creatures--namely turtles. As shown in the picture below, the weather would be beautiful. However, if I shot the picture from the other direction you would see the wall of rain water that raced towards us to thwart our adventure plans.

On Saturday, we cruised to Hanalei. The weather was perfect.

After a light lunch, Dad decided on wave hopping. Look at that form!

Mom and Dad were excited to see the very pier seen in the old flick "South Pacific". Everytime this was mentioned it was accompanied by someone singing one of the classic's from the film such as "I gotta wash that man right out of my hair". Seriously, does anyone else have trouble figuring out what that means.

Karen showed us all up today as far as ocean sports.
