Resort Sunday

Sunday June 5th.  Our intention was to go and get educated about pineapples but the world had different plans for us.  We traveled up the Likelike highway to the country.  It's the sort of drive that begs for a convertible with the top down and a beautiful silk scarf to tame the hair.  We stopped at a macadamia nut farm where we saw a whole lot of skittish chickens.

Chickens like macadamia nuts

This rooster is a ham

You might say I know a thing or two about chickens.  I've tended a few coops in my day.  Some of my very earliest memories are of going down to the coop with my cousin and finding fresh warm eggs.  We would hold them up to the sun to see if they had chicks and if they didn't we would take our pocket knives out and poke two holes in the shell so that we could suck the insides out.  Four year olds with pocket knives was a very normal thing to our parents, eating horse treats and catching trap door spiders barefoot was very normal to us.  Rocky, our rooster, once attacked me and my dad shot it three times with a rifle before it died.  

Anyhow, the farm didn't have a whole lot to see so we kept going and ended up at Turtle Bay Resort.  

Snacks

Lounging

Quality time in a beach side hammock

I found a bird nest

After a snack on the beach and a rest in a hammock we continued west.  Waimea Bay looked beautiful and inviting so we stopped to watch the sunset and sit in the warm sand.

Strawberry cheesecake and chocolate chip cookie

It was pretty late.  Matsumoto's was closed and Aoki's was getting there so we bypassed shave ice to have ice cream.  Joe bonded with the scooper and then we enjoyed our frozen treats on the way home.  We did have shave ice with Joey on Wednesday.  We took him to our favorite and I think he may have enjoyed it.
