Vacation Day 6

We were in Kona, Hawai'i today, Wednesday. We arrived here at 7am. The weather was very hot and humid today. To get off the ship we had to take a tender boat, which is actually one of the life boats that they use to transfer the people from the boat to shore. They had to do this because the water was very shallow and the ship couldn't make it all the way in to shore. The best thing about this is that we were able to see up close how pretty the water was. We could see to the bottom of the ocean.

The pictures don't capture it as well as thought it would, but it was very pretty.

Since it was so hot we didn't spend much time outside on this island. We walked around a little bit - a lot of this island is uphill. We went back to the ship early enough for Chase and Cody to be able to swim in the little kids pool. They had fun doing that and wish we had done it earlier in the trip. The pool was only 8" deep and had this little slide in it. They played int his pool for about 2 hours. They wer eboth very hungry and tired after this.

Tonight we went for dinner at East meets West. It was very simular to Benihana. The food was good. I had steak and chicken and both were good. We went to the Magic of Chris Mitchell show and it wasn't complety good. It lacked the actual magic but the guys was a little funny. We also had a few drinks before picking up the boys from Kids Club.

Tonight the boys were having a circus. They dressed up like clowns, played games, had a circus tent and got prizes. They brought back beach balls and buckets and shovels. Here is the Chase the Clown (without his hair on):
