Gauging the ball, trying to find his distance. Still not syncing up well with the ball yet.

Yes, I actually asked off of work early so I could surprise my boys by taking them to see the new clone wars movie that started today. Why.....because I'm a mom. Not that I don't like shoot them up, slash them, robots, robots, robots, weird things, and of course jabba the hut *sigh*..........but....... sometimes it's not my type of movie. And then of course to add to my degredation, the whole theatre (45 people for the 5:15 showing) clapped after it was done. I have to admit, my favorite part was the new girl jedi. At least I had somebody I could relate to in the movie.
We snorkled at Hanauma Bay (wasn't very nice, the water was dirty, and not many fish. :() From left to right....my sister in law Lori, my brother David, Chris performing his Robinson Caruso look, and then me.

We saw dolphins!!! Yes, we took a catamaran out into the ocean and got to see a large pod tagging alongside the boat. Was very neat. When the motor was turned off and we started snorkling, they skeedaddled though. Although to take their place was a 3-4ft baby reef shark.
This picture was taken at the Hale Koa, which was the first hotel we stayed at.
This picture and the one below were both taken at our condo resort we stayed at. The condo was 5 star all the way, called the Ko Olina. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.......
