Visit From Kerry and Brenda!

Kerry and Brenda (Adam's parents) have been on the island for almost a week now, and we've been having a lot of fun visiting with them. They were staying at the Marriott on the other side of the island, but they came to stay with us for the last few nights of their trip. We stayed in one of the rooms of their timeshare a couple of nights, and it was pretty amazing. There were pools everywhere with bridges, tunnels, and waterfalls in them. There is also a few lagoons that we didn't get the chance to play in because of Adam's work.



Yesterday we all went to Pearl Harbor. We ended up just going to the Arizona Memorial, which was fine with me because that is my favorite thing there. First, you watch a short film with footage from both the U.S. and Japanese media/government that explains the events that lead to the attack on Pearl Harbor and what happened as a result of it. Then, they take you on a ferry to the Arizona Memorial that was built over the sunken ship.







After Pearl Harbor, we went to the Waikiki Aquarium. Even though I'm there every week volunteering, it's always fun to go as a visitor. It was also fun to share some of my knowledge about the exhibits.



We had to cut the day short because Kerry and Brenda were tired from all the fun they had earlier in the week and Adam had to get to work by 5:00. By the way, along with working during the day landscaping at BYU-H, he recently picked up a job working at McDonald's at night to make a little bit more money. It will just be for the summer when he's not in school. For me, the school year just ended today, but I applied to substitute teach for summer school as well. Hopefully I get called in to work at least a couple of times a week.
