Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! We had a great day waking up, eating yummy breakfast then going down to see the giant waves at Ho'okipa then over to Jaws. That's right, the waves were breaking at Jaws, which doesn't happen that often and we got to see it. We had to drive through pineapple fields to the cliffs. The surfers can't even get to the beach from the road, they have to be towed in by jet skis from anoher cove. The waves must have been at least 30 feet high and there were some surfers out there riding. The waves were so big that they had to be towed into the waves to surf them. We got some good pictures. Of course I forgot to bring my camera cord so you'll just have to wait till I get home for some pics. After traversing back through the pineapple field, we came home to Deborah who got to sleep in. Then we ate snacks-brie and bread, dates, carmelized nuts; talked to family on the phone, rested a little in the sun, decided to forgo the beach idea because no one wanted to drive. We started opening presents around 3:30 and we dragged it out through the rest of the night till Adrian's bedtime. Adrian got a cool dump truck, eco friendly recycled plastic! He got some books and Organic Cotton People clothes and a music windup box. Deborah has newly installed car speakers since her's were shot. She never even knew that Barry snuck in and did a covert install! Barry got some Maui Harley Davidson clothes and a new belt buckle. We watched some of Deborah's 'Planet Earth' and then 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button'. For dinner we did some chicken and ribs on the barbie and had some potato/mac salad. Barry made a yummy marinade for the chicken with ginger and soy and brown sugar and other stuff. Very good! There was egg nog and beer for libations. We had a nice day together!
Anyways...we're off to the beach so I better go get dressed.
