The grounds are beautifully kept and have such beautiful flowers and tropical plants and trees.
Paul and Ethan had a great adventure yesterday riding a Segway! They were both very excited when they got back to the villa! I think it was as much from the tour they took and the history of the island and Pearl Harbor that they learned as it was from the Segway itself. But they couldn't stop talking about how much fun they had, so it might be a toss-up.
Aren't they handsome!'
I cannot believe the adventure I had today! This proves you should always be careful what you say because someone is always listening! I didn't snorkel the last time we were in Hawaii for two reasons. One, I can't swim. Two, I knew I couldn't hold the mouth piece in my mouth because I have a bad gag reflex. So, yesterday we saw a new type of snorkeling gear that covered your whole face and didn't have a mouth piece. My comment, off the top of my head, was, "I might could do that." You guessed it. Tim, Ethan, Paul, and the girls went out today and came back with a "surprise". That's an understatement! You guessed it. They bought those new snorkeling face mask things. With the looks of expectation on their faces I couldn't disappoint them, could I? No, I could not.
Ethan was a very good teacher and so patient with me.
Kate was my cheerleader!
I still can't believe I did it. It helped that the pool was only three feet deep. lol! But it didn't end there. Now I had to go to the ocean! Believe you me, if I had not loved these kids of mine and trusted them completely it would have never happened! But I surprised myself and them. I went snorkeling in the ocean! Needless to say, I didn't turn lose their hands. But again, they were very patient with me, and I was so excited to actually see some fish swimming on the bottom! This shows it's never too late to overcome your fears! Thanks, Tim. I'm not being sarcastic; I really mean it!
Other adventurous places!
