Yesterday we went for a really nice drive up to the North Shore. We went to the Waimea Valley Audubon Center. It is about a 2 mile walk that shows the stereotypical Hawaiian landscape and ends with a waterfall and pool which you can swim in (we didn't though because there were spiders in the dressing room). All of the plants were labeled and it was a nice leisurely walk for us. After Waimea, Amy and I decided we needed to get some more sun so we drove to Turtle Bay Resort (that's where they filmed a lot of this season's the bachelor!). The resort has a nice public beach where Amy and I went snorkeling and sun bathed (burned) for a few hours. Tatum was happy at the beach for the first time because she got her own beach chair (finally)! Today we were going to go to Pearl Harbor, but Amy chipped her tooth on Necco's that I gave her last weekend and so instead she had to go to the dentist. They charged her a lot ($238 for about 4 minutes of work) and then laughed at her for breaking her tooth on Necco's because "those are not even good! They were not worth it!" (Asian accent). After Amy got home from the dentist, we drove to the Historic town of Haleiwa and got a famous Matsumoto shave (not shaved!) ice. Amy was really excited because they had an option of putting sweetened condensed milk over the top (she eats that stuff straight out of the can during a sugar craving). Very very good! We were glad we paid the extra 25 cents for kid proof cup holders!!! Well! See you later! Thanks for your comments! p.s. sorry about the chubby guy in the water fall. We stayed there for 10 minutes to take the pic and he wouldn't move... Pictures in order:
Something cannon tree (these fruits are about 10 pounds), a flower of some kind ( I probably should have written down these names), some kind of tree with roots, an old Hawaiian hut, this would be a good jigsaw puzzle, waterfall, a sign you probably wouldn’t see in Utah, Tyger at Turtle Bay, Fat girl in a little suit at Turtle bay, Zach eating Matsumoto’s shave ice.

I'm gonna have to try that shave ice thing with the sweetened condensed milk. I LOVE THAT STUFF! Zach, your face looks really thin in the pic with you eating the shave ice. Was there really falling fruit?
Yes there was fruit on a lot of the trees. The shave ice is awesome. Try it with the sweet and condensed milk it is so good!!

Hi guys,
You are going to be bored with normal life when you come home. Addison wanted to tell Tyger that he got a monster book. He's looking forward to showing it to him when you get back.
