We brouight Tonk home and he and Bill & Jim have been best friends since.
I think they are going to be suitcase buddies for a while. You may not know, Bert (yes, of Bert & Ernie) has been my suitcase pal for a long time now...but that's another story and I won't tell you about it know, ok Justine!
But, he's way too brave for me...check out this eel that he found out front here, he caught it with a stick and net! This one is too big for the center piece. He graduated to a plastice punch bowl, purchased at Safeway for $5.00. Jimmy has found fish, shrimp, eels, octopus, crab and lots of little creatures.
This eel along with the fish did go upstairs for the center piece. Jimmy lets them all go...except sometimes they do eat each other!!! Yuck.
We watched one man swim back and forth with his dog following him everywhere, another man training his german shepard dog - he looked well trained already. Another man, in white pajama pants working up to some Chai Tea, Tiah Che, She Gone - whatever. Lovely setting for dinner.
Now there's a happy Toyke!
I tried to get Toyke to jump with them...he's relaxed but not that adventurous.
I'm glad I was a soccer Mum...check out the canoe club Mum...she's standing on a surf board paddling, keeping an eye on the kids...
Toyke and I played some coconut tossing games...I know you're not surprised that Toyke won...
We left the camera in the car but we were blown away that we actually got a parking space close to the end of the road beach! Most people were parking at least 1/4 mile away but someone was leaving just as we drove up. I wish we had an underwater camera because the highlight - we were swimming with turtles! We had to swim out over the reef to get to them but it was pretty cool to see them floating around, eating, just hanging out like turtles do!
We also took a cinnamon raisin bagel (I'm sure any bread product would do) and put it in a plastic bag with small holes and took it snorkling with us. It was amazing how the fish swarmed around for little bits of bagel! They actually grabbed the bag out of my hand twice! I gave the bag to Toyke for a bit but he sent it back quite quickly as the fish "were touching him" and he didn't like it at all! It did seem a little paranaish but I knew they weren't flesh eaters, I was okay. Cool colours (sp for my Canadian relatives!) on the fish, white, black, blue, green, yellow, orange, purple and red.
Mode of transportation....pocket of exercise shorts, they and the room key fit just right...
Bill & Jim waited on the car while Toyke & Lisette went into Safeway to pick up lunch for the day at the beach...
There are crabs that dig these big holes in the sand...Bill & Jim are waiting for the crab to come out...the crab brings a claw full of sand up each time and chucks it out of the hole, see the pile of sand that's already been chucked out!
He usually has his book which he reads with outstretched arms and that's pretty good relaxing but his - two noodles, it's perfect.
They even tried boogie boarding...they really liked it.
They were pretty tired after the long bike ride and boogie boarding so they tanned for a while but they were responsible tanners, they used SPF 30...they really liked it.
Then they headed to the beach to catch a few waves...
Wow, they almost got washed away!!! Where's Jim's arm!!!! They didn't like that too much...
The End of Bill & Jim's excellent adventures...I wonder how they'll like the airplane.
Start of the trip
Sleeping giant if you look carefully you can see the shape of someone laying down...Elevation at the top @3500'
Naa! It was the Wailua River Kayak Tour and it was fun! This is Toyke and RJ unloading the kayaks. There were 10 of us plus the guide and it was well worth it. We've seen people of the river before but haven't kayaked ourselves.
I think that there's something wrong with Toyke's feet! Besides being so tanned one is bigger than the other, maybe one shrunk in the pool...
