Saturday

Dad wanted to go to Goodwill to shop.  So we all head off for shopping.  First stop, Goodwill near Costco.  Everyone seemed to have purchased something at Goodwill.  I bought a lava lava, also called a sarong.  The sarong will be useful on the bike trip as a cover up.  At the luau, there was a fashion show showing the different ways to wear the sarong.   I would like to wear the sarong as a bikini one day.  It may be a dream, but who knows.  

The next shop we stop at was Hilo Hatties.  Jacob opened up an oyster and found two black pearls.  The pearls will go to Heather in some earrings for mother’s day.  Heather purchased other items for friends and family as gifts.  

Next, we head over to Dennys for lunch.  Yes, Dennys in Hawaii.  Then we go to the big ABC store.  This store is the tourist shop.  T-shirts are purchased for the boys.  Denise, Ted, Ben and Dad head off for the house.   Dad and Ben need their naps.  Heather, Joshua, Jacob, Bubba, and I head to the Farmer’s Market shops.  

Heather found a tie for Mark, another noose.  Joshua found a whale.  He says that his animal collection is complete.  He has a turtle, panda, and a whale.  Prior to the trip, he made a stuffed dodo bird.  Aunt Denise gave him the coconut monkey for his birthday.
