Brandon comes home
Day 17-day 20 may 6-may 9
We arrived to Honolulu and we got the car from, this time, dollar rentals. We were lost driving and driving around and around. Me and mama got dropped off at a store to ... well mom says it's a mall. Well, we did our business and ate and got some stuff for the road and when they picked us up they had lo and behold a map! Well we finally found it and we did some shopping and went to sleep
To cut out the other stuff here is what we did on wonderful day 18.
Went to Pearl Harbor. saw torpedoes and ballistic missiles got into a submarine cock pit and looked at ... through periscopes and then got souvenirs mom says that, and I know, that an amazing battle took place here in WWII. After that we went snorkeling
Ok here's day 19
A short version of a military stronghold called Diamond Head (they aren't really diamonds) we hiked and took lots of pictures and we saw spectacular view of the sea and the beaches and it was a two hour long hike up and down - with pictures and it was worth it
The rest we relaxed for the vacation well maybe...whoops just wait
Day 19 and 20 fill in
We went to a Chinatown after Diamond Head and we saw cool things and also at the last day we walked on Waikiki beach and ate then went to the arcade

Getting Ready for Summer
Badminton
This weekend we put our volley-ball net up. We spray painted boundary
lines in orange. There not that strait to be honest. But who cares? At least
me and Fallon tried. Fallon, Paige, and I play badminton and volley-ball.
Usually we play volley-ball because of the winds. Sometimes our mum and dad
play with us. Fallon is really good at volley-ball. So is my mum. My dad is
really good at badminton. I am not very good at badminton but its fun. When
we play volley-ball we play it so we can catch the ball to make it easier.
Paige is still learning how to play both volley-ball and badminton. She has
a really good serve for badminton. But she still needs some work on her
serve for volley-ball. Other than that she is pretty good. My serve for
volley-ball is getting really good. A badminton serve is pretty easy. I like
volley-ball and badminton!

Day 15
May 4, 2008
Aloha!
Today, we visited the Hamakua Macadamia Nut Company. Hamakua Macadamia Nuts are grown on the lush, green slopes of the Big Island of Hawaii's four mountain ranges. They were all grown using environmentally, friendly practices without pesticides. Macadamia nuts fall to the ground when they are ready and farmers collect them when they are ready for processing. i got to try to crack the Macadamia nut using 300 lb of pressure and they were very good. I like them raw. Macadamia nuts are good for you and are high in good fat which helps reduce bad cholesterol levels. They also are good in vitamin E., which protects against cancer and other diseases. We tried samples and they were good.
During the evening, we attended the Island Breeze Lu'au held at the beachfront and we all dressed up in matching Hawaiian outfits. When we were greeted, my mom and my sister, Abegail, received fresh leis to wear, and my dad and I received kukui nuts lei also to wear. Then, we had our picture taken, and we got one of the best seats...the front seats. There was a wonderful dinner included full of authentic Hawaiian food; poi, a mixed taro root, and kalua pig, cooked under the sand with leaves, and lau-lau puaa (pig) a piece of pork wrapped in taro leaf and wrapped again in banana leaf and steamed in an imu (the place where a kalua puaa is cooked or maybe they steamed it in a pot). It's really good, and there was even live entertainment! There was a fireknife dancer, and hula dancers, and other dancers. It was really fun. I wish I could bring you all, but we didn't have enough money because it is very expensive!
Mahalo!
