Every once in a while, Debbie and I take our hardworking shop girls out for adventure.  we had friends visiting Hawaii so this time we decided to take them somewhere they had never been.  can you believe that Rachel and Danelle had never been to Valley of the Temples to the Tranquil Byodo - In Temple.  so late one Saturday afternoon,  the girls headed out to Kaneohe with our Koi food and bread to feed the birds. did you know that if you hold the bread up in your fingers, they will land at your fingertips and eat the bread right there.. we also figured out that if your shirt is a boring black (like mine) the birds ignore you they much rather go to someone in a bright color like pink or red. and the Koi fish go crazy for pellets and splash water all over….

We then headed to Haleiwa Joes at Haiku Gardens where we explored the gardens to our delight found paths that we never knew existed and were able to show our friends Rosa and Fernando our tropical folliage they saw sleeping grass for the first time and took a video of it!  after the adventure, we had a nice dinner together and shared some very sinfull desserts

the next week, we went to our favorite breakfast place Cinnamon’s in Kailua can you say Red Velvet Pancakes? yum yum! counting the days until we go back!! basically, we like all the crazy fans of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, went to stalk the Black Pearl what an exciting event that was, dannelle and rachel and my daughter love love love the movies and wanted to take as many picures as they could . they were even scheming ways to distract he security gaurds..

so after all of the adventures our CBY girls came back refreshed and creative!
