Vacation Diary... Day 5 in Hawai'i

Ok, this is for Sunday, September 21st.

Somewhat slept in, but had to get up in time to see my dad and Charlie off. They went BACK to the party to help with the clean up process. Must not have taken too long, because by the time I got down there at 11:30 or so, everything was done.

We hung out with the family for the bulk of the day for the "after party" which consisted of MORE good food, MORE awesome music and another beautiful day on the Big Island. It was nice to see some of my cousins, Uncles and Aunties that I haven't seen for awhile, the longest probably being my cousin Sonny Boy... About 8 years or so...

We had to pry ourselves away from the party around 5:45 or so, since we promised to take the kids to the fair. We went with Macky and his wife Christine and thier 3 kids so that Kalani and Chenille could hang and Kiale and Shandon would have someone to do the rides with. I was seriously dissappointed when I saw how SMALL the fair has become. I mean SMALL!!! It made the fair when I was in high school look huge!!! None the less, the kids had an awesome time. The best party was probably running into Vance, Vanessa, Serena, Truman and Kimi... So funny because they actually live in Washington just like us!!!

We ended the night with yet another awesome dinner at the ever-popular Ken's House of Pancakes. Of course, it was packed... But the meal hit the spot. (Don't think that I have many spots left!)
