After spending the morning at an animal farm, we drove a few miles to our friend's Dave and Rona's beach front house in Lahaina. They were hosting a picnic lunch for the Bride and the Groom and all of the guests of the wedding. Penny's friend's Liliah and Dominic were there along with Gabriel and a few other kids, so to say that Penny had fun was an understatement. Actually, all of us had a good time in the ocean and playing on the beach. It was a really nice afternoon. Hubs and I forgot to put suntan lotion on our backs and we were burned to crisp. More hubby than I. You'd think living in California we'd know better but we don't. After an afternoon of fun we need some food so Hubs, Penny, and I head to Star Noodle to check out their food. Another Yelp finding, the place was practical empty when we showed up at 4pm but hopping by the time we left. We had noodles, salmon, salad, wontons, and donuts. Everything just hit the spot after a long time at the beach. They had pretty reasonable eats for Maui. Penny fell asleep in the car going over and she never woke up for food. After lunch/dinner we headed to Hilo Hattie to get Penny some trinkets but that store must has fallen on hard time because it was practically empty, only a shadow of the merchandise it used to have and not so fun. We didn't buy anything for once. We walked around the outdoor mall which had turned into a mall of outlets but we didn't go into any other stores except ABC. We decided to try our luck at Whaler's Village. Everything there was high price but we did manage to get Penny a new stuffed animal and a necklace. We bumped into another little boy Penny's age and they had fun playing for a while. Afterward she was hungry so we bought her an ice cream from Haug n Daus. We stayed for a free Hula Show but I didn't really get to watch much as I was busy watching Penny who met a little girl and the both of them were running around the lawn during the whole show. I am so impressed with the ease at which Penny meets people. Even giving them kisses and hugs after meeting them. That girl is going to be trouble in her teens!! Heheh
Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...
