Hawaii Dia 5

Family trip to the hospital anyone?

Yet another day that didn’t have anything planned. We had a couple different plans but because Mikey was too sick to go out, we ended up just going to see a couple of waterfalls and “Spouting Horn.” We also did a lot of shopping. I got a keychain for Katie, a necklace for Danika, something for Rooosie and something small for Tov. Still need to find something really good for you >.< I need to find something for Bailee and I thought about trying to find something for Xavi but I really don’t know what to get him. I did see some coconut bras and thought of him though XD

I actually remembered to buy myself something! Yays! I got a pretty blue necklace. Though, I’ll have to find a different cord for it because DSCN1416it is almost exactly the same length as my silver one which I won’t take off. I also got myself a set of bracelets (though I got those mostly for mom. She needed to get a certain amount spent to get a free item so I grabbed those. Still likes them) One store that we visited we got a shell Lei as soon as we walked in.  That is also the sarong I got myself the other day.

So the first waterfall we went to, I just started taking pictures when it started to POUR. Mom and Brandi went straight to the van when it started while Ryan, Jessi and I decided to continue on for a little thinking that like every other time its rained, it would let off in a few seconds. It didn’t. It just got worse. So we, once we had come to the conclusion it was just too wet, ran back to the van. We were dripping wet. Soaked. And guess what we had forgotten to grab. Oh yeah, the towels. So, we got 10 miles from the hotel and had to return home.

We got home and threw all our cloths in the dryer and made sure that we packed the towels and change of cloths in the car. It was a few minutes before we got to the house and I got that same pain in my stomach as the other day XP Tis a very sucky pain. But it kind of went away by the time the cloths had dried. So off we went to the next waterfall.

When we got there, I was opening the back of the van and Jessi DSCN1368walked right into the corner. 1/2 over and it would have hit her eye ;_; As soon as she had hit it, she started to cry. Then this guy came over and gave her this basket he had wove by hand from leaves. He keep telling her to stop crying and that he hoped his basket would make her happy again. He just didn’t seem able to deal with a cute girl crying… Then we told him what had happened and he felt even worse for her. Then he went off and another guy (a friend of his i think) came over and put a little bird made from the same kind of leaf to make her smile on the basket.

Mom went over to thank them for the gift because it was so sweet  of them. They were obviously very very poor and it was so nice of them to give Jessi those things that they could have sold. As mom was talking to them, she found out that the guy had this puppy that has some skin disease and he couldn’t afford the meds and that was why he was trying to sell these baskets that he made. He had the puppy there. The poor thing looked so sick and it had no fur… it was DSCN1409depressing. Ryan ended up buy a couple of baskets from them to help out.

After that, we went to the Spouting horn and looked around the shops there. Wasn’t too awesome. Sounded cool though. On the way home, we went into this amazing Orchid shop *.* So many beautiful flowers! They were growing everywhere. She evenDSCN1411 had some growing without any dirt, just  hanging there. And there was such a variety of colors and sizes! I also managed to finish filling a memory card today ^.^;

Hopefully tomorrow less people are in pain and no one injures themselves XD I’m kind of excited because tomorrow we are going to the luau which is supposed to be really intense. I should get some cool pictures I hope. That or video. Oh yeah, tomorrow is the luau, that means I has to wear a dress o.0 Should be interesting.

Alrighty, tis getting late here.

Niiight! Miss you.
