my saturday date

My cousins are on the island!  I've previously stated this.  I love them!  I spent all Saturday with them.  I was supposed to hike Stairway to Heaven....but I'm glad that fell through because today was awesome.

Short guys.  They like me to carry them on my shoulders. 
"I am so tall!!!!!"  Yes you are!  Enjoy it because you aren't
gonna get that tall because your parents...are short.
Hanauma Bay



I was picked up at 7am and taken to town where I had real breakfast made by my cousin's Japanese Grandmother.  80-something and in great shape.  That's it, I'm gonna live here forever.   BUT REALLY....









went to Hanauma Bay.  Matt remembers it before the Environmentalists 'ruined' it.  There were millions of fish because people would feed them, life flourished.  Now it is still really cool, but the coral is covered in silt and the fish are fairly sparse.  Spent hours on the beach with 4 year old Jaxson, 6 year old Slater and 9 year old Zakary.  I love these guys.  They think I'm awesome.

vs   Matt's Head
After Hanauma we went and got AMAZING shave ice.  Personally- I think it's better than Matusmoto's.  I know, that's like sac-religious, but the Ice is so fine and the syrup is almost creamy.   Got the Larry.  What is a 'Larry'?  It is a shave ice as big as a football.  the equivalent of 4 smalls and the smalls...aren't really small.  AMAZING.  The only snow worth having.  Snow cones don't even compare.  Snow cones are crunchy nasty fake syrupy crap.  Shave Ice is Christmas in a cup, in July.  Especially here 'cuz it's hot.




Fish FACE





Went, then, to Zippy's to get an Apple Napple.  Napoleon Pastries.  The apple ones are the best because, not only do they rhyme, not only are they the correct triangular shape, but they taste the best as well.












Went to Grandma Janet's apartment where she fed us lots of food and also Star fruit.  Did I tell you about Star fruit?  I think I did.  It is still amazing.  Don't eat it if you have Kidney problems!

I was climbed all over, cuddled with, I was the base of the airplanes, the back scratcher...all forms of entertainment for the evening.  Slater asked me "Aria, are we going to be cousins forever?"  "Yes Slater, yes we are!"

"I would not climb that tree because it has ants on it" -Jaxson
"Aria, will you shake the tree so the coconuts will come down?"- Slater
