We're finally starting to get up a t a regular time. Between 6:00a and 7:00a. Unfortunately that is 9:00a and 10:00a in Vancouver so getting back to work on Wednesday is going to be tough. Callie and Kerry have started a regular trip up the road to a cinnamon bun place. Pretty good though I'm glad Kerry eats the macadamia nuts off it before I get it. Carter has been the last one to wake up each morning so I hang back and watch woodworking videos on the iPad.
Today was a very exciting day as Sean had convinced Kerry that they were going surfing this morning. I'm sure it sounded like a better idea when Kerry had a few drinks in her the evening before. By morning she wasn't so sure. Land training was quick. Only about 15 minutes and then it was out on the waves. Kerry had a tough go of it for the first hour or so but she managed to get up about 5 times before it was over. The toughest part was the way she would wipe out. Typically quickly and face first.
By the time she was done she was very close to throwing up. It was definitely a great experience for her though and I'm proud that she never gave up. Believe me. After watching her for 45 minute it wasn't looking good. :)
The kids were quite content to stick to the beach. Callie and Kennedy met a friend named Julia and they spent most of the time trying to create a sand wall in the surf. About every third wave would wash over it. Unfortunately I accidentally ended their attempt when I asked them what they would use it for.
In the afternoon we headed to Moose McGillycuddy's with the Dukes for Happy Hour. Beer was $3.00 and mixed drinks were $4.00. (I'm fairly certain there's not a lot of alcohol in the mixed drinks. The beer is probably a better deal.) Dinner was back at the condo and consisted of steaks and giant over-priced potatoes. We watched for the sunset again but we didn't bother going down to the beach as it was very obviously still too cloudy. It's not looking good for a Maui sunset.
