This 4th of July was quite a busy and full day! We woke up early to make a dish for the ward breakfast, then headed off to eat. There was SO much food, it was delicious. After the breakfast, a group of us headed off to go spearfishing at Laie Point-it was much too choppy, so we ended up at our 'secret spot' up by Turtle Bay Resort. The water was pretty murky, however, Jason caught his first catch on with his new speargun! We decided to cook 'em up and have a BBQ; weird combination, but we had grilled & steamed fish, hamburgars and hot dogs. It all turned out SO GOOD! We (the Robins, Trevor, Jason & I) quickly hurried over to Turtle Bay Resort so we wouldn't miss their fireworks show. After 'talking story' and then being rained on {it stopped as quickly as it came}, the show started. It was pretty good and of course, beautiful. While waiting in line to drive out of the resort, we watched S.W.A.T. in the car. I'm sure we looked rather funny all watching a movie on a tiny screen, but the surround sound was pretty amazing, that the size of the screen didn't matter. By the time we got home, we still had about 10 mins left of the movie, so we continuted watching it in our apartment parking lot. We then met up with Lauren, her dad Bob and her brother Justin (whom she picked up from the airport earlier that evening), to shoot off our own fireworks. Since they are illegal in AZ, it was a first for me. And it was a blast (no pun intended)! We started out at Temple Beach, but it was TOO windy so we crossed the street and lite them off in the beach park parking lot. By the time the last firework and sparkler were lite it was rather late, so we all headed home. It was a long and non-stop day, but it was lots of fun!
The fish Tumu (a friend from the ward) caught and cooked up at the BBQ.
Jason playing with our bag of skittles. This little boy came up to us and just kinda lurked around us and stared for a minute at them. I asked him if he wanted some and that was the question he was waiting for, he dove right in the bag and helped himself.

The chaos of people running for cover during our little Hawaiian rain storm. But the show must go on!

Right before Bob did a 'tuck and roll'.
Right as Justin was about to get his hair singed off.
Teamwork. Jason & I.
A bunch of crazies.
