Fourth of July Hawaiian Style

FOURTH OF JULY HAWAIIAN STYLE

We started the Fourth of July celebration with an amazing snorkel at
Shark's Cove, where we saw turtles, multiple schools of fish, among other things.
Then on to a senior missionary picnic at the church welfare farm. It is the
 only church farm where members are given plots of land to take care of and raise 
their own produce. On our hike through the farm we saw many plants, 
including this banana tree blossom. Bananas aren't really grown on trees,
but "bushes" and these smaller apple bananas, as they are called, are delicious. 

Then we went to the Laie Fourth of July parade. Here is the
senior missionary float.

This is a very patriotic horse.

They even had a truck that was roasting a pig on the back!

Saturday we did a ride along the North Shore and our reward
was a pastry at Ted's Bakery.

These cute girls were part of the hula dancers at the
luau where we volunteered Saturday night.
