The rest of Bernie's Trip...

On Thursday, we went to the North Shore. Saw the turtles and checked out the beaches. Then we went to Wahiawa Botantical Gardens. Such a beautiful place! In the afternoon, we drove around Pearl Harbor and Hickam Airforce Base. We took a walk along the shore and the girls played while we waited for Jeff to join us for dinner at the Mongolian BBQ. Imagine our surprise when Jeff called at 5pm from the house! The CO had "threatened" to escort him off the boat by gun point if he stayed any longer! (Thanks Drew!!!) So we all went to dinner. It was a a great evening! Jeff had leave on Friday!!! So we went snorkeling at Hanauma Bay. It was a little windy and cool, but we had a fun. It was Bernie's first time snorkeling. She had a little trouble with the fins but loved it. We stopped at the blow hole on our way home. The wind and the waves made for a great display! On Saturday, we went to Sea Life Park. We hadn't been there before (probably wont go back either). The girls enjoyed it, but I don't think it is worth the price of admission. (Luckily, I bought the tickets at the DSF auction and got a great deal!) Sunday was church and a little relaxing. We went to the Paradise Cove Luau that night. It was a fun evening. Monday Bernie and the girls baked :) Madalyn's favorite thing to do!! I also joined in the fun and made pretzels for the bake sale (85% success rate - not bad for me). The other 15% looked bad, but tasted good :)
