Expensive Boat Ride (Wednesday)

We get up early on Wednesday for an exciting day out on the sea in hopes of catching some kind of big fish. Our skippy, that's what I called him, was really nice. He talked a lot to Brandon because he use to live in Alaska and he hunted a lot of animals. Brandon's dream is going to Alaska and getting a Yukon Moose and Caribou. Our Captain didn't really say too much to us, but I noticed he was kind of a jerk to the skippy. I wouldn't want to work with our captain. As we were going out we saw some pilot whales in the distance. It was pretty cool because there were a bunch of them in their pods. I was hoping we would get up close to them but I think they would have gotten tangled in the lines. That's my guess. Brandon and Tobey took some motion sickness pills before getting on the boat. Well Tobey did Brandon took one while out on the sea. I started to feel a little sick so I decided to take a nap. The boat ride was so freakin boring and we hadn't caught anything! All of a sudden I see Brandon at the end of the boat and I just thought he was admiring the water, nope he ended up getting sea sick and was throwing up. It was funny, because we paid a lot of money for an expensive boat ride and to see Brandon throw up. At least he knows he may not be able to do fish in Alaska on a boat. After that boat ride we headed back in town and me and Silene got dropped off at a farmer's market. The boys didn't want to shop so we told them we would walk back to the condo. We bought somethings and headed back. It was so freakin humid and it seemed like we would never get there but we did. We went to the Luau, saw them dig up the pig, ate, and enjoyed the dancing from the different Islands. It started to get dark and I was getting tired and I thought it was 9 p.m. so I asked Tobey and it was only like 10 or 15 minutes to 8 p.m. I was like you're kidding me! We decided to leave early because I've seen all the dances from the different Islands at other Luaus and plus we beat all the traffic out of the parking lot. We only missed the fire dance but that's ok. I honestly like to see the Luaus in Utah because it seems like they try a lot harder here. If you think about it they probably don't dance every other night like they do in Hawaii. It was fun. The food was alright, but I was ready for bed.

Thursday
Thursday we went back to Hapuna beach to see if the waves were any better to go boogie boarding and they weren't. Brandon went out to snorkel and me and Silene laid in the sun. Brandon was waving for me to come over because there was a turtle in the water. I grabbed my snorkel and mask and got out there. It was pretty neat to see this little guy underwater eating. We went back and grabbed our snorkel gear so we could snorkel a little further out. It was neat but there was a time when I got my head out of the water and looked towards the beach and I swear no one was in the water. I started to freak out wondering why no one was in the water because when you see that it means there is something in the water. I calmed down because I saw a bunch of people I was just looking in the wrong direction. I watched Jaws and shark week a little bit too much. I am so afraid of getting attacked by a shark. After snorkeling we headed back in and laid out a bit. Brandon started to get bored so that's when he started to play with the sand. After Hapuna beach we headed to Magic Sands beach because we wanted to boogie board. The waves were huge and there was a lot of people there. Tobey and Brandon tired and then I went out with Brandon. I was a little nervous because I don't know how to move around and I didn't want to hit a rock. I got a wave and it was a huge wave and I was heading right towards her face. All I remember was he freaked out look on her face and I was out. I finally got up and made sure my top was still on. I guess I just tumbled around in the wave. Tobey said it looked like I was in the dryer. I guess my legs were sticking straight up in the water. After that I was done. The waves were so big and Silene didn't want to go out. I gave the boogie board to Tobey and we just watched the boys. Brandon had a blast! I can't believe how many people were out there boogie boarding and body surfing. After coming back home and showering we headed towards another town called Honaunau to see if we could find the dolphins. We get there and sure enough there is a group of dolphins 30-40 feet away from shore. It was awesome. We figured we would go there in the morning to swim with the dolphins. We headed back and stopped at a place called Donkey Balls. It was a chocolate store and coffee shop. They sell these huge balls of chocolate with macadamia nut and the nuts are covered in 50 layers of chocolate. They were pretty good. They had all kinds of flavors the funniest one we found were called blue balls. We bought a couple of bags of Donkey Balls, which were expensive also. I can't remember if we went out to eat or if we stayed and grilled that night. The nights are a blur to me because after you're in the water all day you get pooped by the time 5 p.m. rolls around. Well when it's 5 in Hawaii it was 9 p.m. back home.
