Hawaii Day 6

Playin' in a lagoon!

Today we woke up from a garbage truck's loud clanging noise stopping in front of Tutu's and Papa's house. Ugh, we were tired. We started out with some homemade pancakes (we always used to have cereal.) Then we did some educational activities like math. But before that, we played a game of Hawaiian Go Fish and Lauren won! (Boo for me.) Well at least I got second. After that it was time to watch Lauren and Papa play tennis. So we took our ugly Jeep to a tennis court at Mrs. Davis's old high school, and they hit the ball for a little, but then a girl whined that they made reservations so we had to go back into (once again) our ugly Jeep. It was time to get ready for the trip to Flat Island, so we put on our swim suits and put on a copious amount of sun block about five times. When we got in the water we were a little shaky because it was very cold, but before we knew it we were having a good time. I had a little trouble with my goggles at the end on the way there, but (once again) we were there in no time! When we were there we collected plenty of shells (big and small.) We also saw about five birds (Pacific shear water and egrets.) We were supposed to see more birds but since we were not in the spring we missed out. We were bummed out. It was time to start riding a boogie board or swimming back, so we did. I (Samantha) rode a boogie board, but Lauren swam. We were colder on the way out since it had more wind and we were not wet on the way heading to Flat Island. I couldn't wait to get in the car and wrap a towel around me, and like I predicted I was comfy and cozy! While my teacher had to go to the store to get some food, Lauren and I stayed home jump roping and doing our arm bands. That is when the neighbor's dog went in the house and explored. We didn't know where the dog was coming from until we looked at his tag. We tried calling his owner, but he did not answer. Two times we called and then finally his owner came after our late dinner.
