Rough Day!
Last night was fun at the Farmer's Market. Still things are quite expensive. We purchased really tall green onions ($1), 3 tomatoes ($2), 2 onions ($2), and 4 small corns on the cob ($3). We also purchased some Beignets (French donuts), a bag of French Cookies, and a French Baguette. We sampled some local sea asparagus. Jason loves his squid jerky he purchased a few nights prior at the local Long's Drug. We decided not to eat the semi costly cooked food while at the market...thinking it would be more affordable to go somewhere else. We did find a pizza joint, but it still wasn't quite affordable. A drink and 2 overly sized pizza slices were around $6.
I am trying really hard not to spend a lot of money, but you can't help it if you want to go out. Today we braved the bus. For grandma, myself, and the kids it was $5 one way. We went to Windward Mall in Kaneohe. It is a beautiful commute. We decided to go there since it would be indoor, a/c, and they'd have a play area for the kids inside. All went well getting there. Unfortunately for Kai, he was too tall for the play area and was told by a security guard that he couldn't play. I was too busy with the other 2 kids to notice the height requirements. He is always trying to be taller so he can ride more rides at Lagoon and today was the opposite for him...he had to watch all the other kids play.
While at the mall, we found a Chinese $.99 store. Lots of things in Chinese that I couldn't really determine what the item actually was. We did find a few items for the house. The guy we're renting from doesn't rent out normally so we have had to purchase a few items for the kitchen...including Teflon utensils so I don't scratch his pots and some more plastic ware so we can eat outside.
The majority of shops were ones you could find at a mall at home. It was to be expected...but great fun to get out and explore. They had a pet store with some cool animals. I have never heard of a skinny pig. Hawaii doesn't allow snakes...so Kai was once again bummed during the trip. But way happy we found a little hand held old school game with lots of games on it for $2.
I am probably boring, but once again I am journaling for my sake.
While exiting the bus, poor Kezia got terrified by being the last one off and the back door being to heavy for her to push and it closed on her. I had gotten off with the double stroller, my mom was helping sleepy Eli off the steep steps, and she was behind her and the door closed. The driver luckily knew what was going on and the people on the bus were nice enough to open it for her to get off...no handles for me from the outside to open it from. Once I got here she started bawling. She was terrified she was going to be left on the bus. Poor thing. ....A part from this and things from earlier, including Eli getting a small bloody nose while in one of the stores, Kezia chipping a tooth while at the play area, and Kai being bummed off and on...the day went rather well. We'll be experiencing the bus again. TGIF....the weekend makes for more visitors at some of the tourists sites, but we hope go to Pearl Harbor tomorrow and see where Jason works as well as the Swap Meet (hopefully some better prices). We are thrilled to spend the day with Jason/Daddy!
