Good Friday on Ohau

What a beautiful day we had! We had plans to drive east from Waikiki and stop at a sea life park ... then maybe see a pineapple plantation on the NorthShore side, but the kids were just having so much fun at the beach, that we just decided to enjoy that ... got subway sandwiches and picnicked right there on Waikiki Beach. We did eventually head back to our room to clean up, and left for our drive to the NorthShore of the island, because we wanted to make it to the Good Friday church service at my friend's church over there. We stopped in a little surfer town for dinner at Pizza Bob's

Pictures from Friday on Waikiki Beach:

"Here Mama ... I No wear this hat!"


How fun to be at the beach together





The beginings of a great sand castle!



Mikayla by the landscaping between the street and Waikiki Beach.



Mmmm... subway picnic











This is a picture of our hotel, as we walked back to the hotel.
Our room was in the cnter of floor 22.



Thank the Lord for digital cameras ... so many many beautiful
things to see here. Here are a few of our favorite shots
from our Friday afternoon drive:






At one of the beaches we stopped to walk a bit on the boys
found a very cute little shelter












Of course traveling with a pregnant Mom on board means lots of potty breaks ... one time we stopped in this tiny little town, saw bathrooms by their baseball fields for mom to use. Right next to the baseball fields was the two truck fire station ... with this sign posted outside (click on it to read) I'm not sure why, but we found it amusing



We have found several sites and places we really wanted to spend time at, but simply did not have time to get to in these three days on Oahu ... so we have started a list of "what we will see when we come back someday" This beach we drove past is at the top of the list (Mom hoped out and took a few quick pictures):









Mmmm ... Pizza Bob's












These pictures really do not do justice to the church we visited for our Good Friday service ... it was so neat. All the window/door you see on this building were open ... like an open air service with a roof over head. And the pastor did a wonderful message walking thru the stations of the cross and then reading the last 7 things that Jesus spoke. We are blessed! We have a Savior!
