Sabbath day...

We checked the internet for church times while in Kona; and found out that they have a 9 and an 11 o'clock session. We opted for the 11. We show up at the chapel and it was packed. We go inside to find out that they were having stake conference. It had started at 10 so we were late and there was not a single seat in the house. We decided to head over to the temple to take some pics. When we got there there were a whole bunch of other couples doing the same. oops! :) The temple is beautiful though!

The boys did all sorts of great poses! :)

After that we decided to head down to the beach, just to relax. Not to swim or play, since it was the sabbath; but if we were just going to be relaxing anyway, we might as well do it at the beach, right? Ben found all of these little hermit crabs.

Eric did get in the water for a few minutes just to cool off, and without thinking had the keys in his pocket. Well our key was one of those new keys with an electrical chip. Not a good thing to get wet. It totally didn't work and we had to wait for the car rental place to send a new key out to us and it was this long ordeal, and earlier in the day Ben and Danielle thought it would be funny to take all of Eric's money out of his wallet as a joke, and yada yada yada... not a good situation! :) But luckily Eric was very forgiving and when we FINALLY got a new key all was well and it's something we can all laugh about now! :)

After that ordeal we headed home to make a delicious home cooked meal of steak, plantains , guacamole and chips and bock choy. YUM! And of course, home made pina coladas! Danielle was the expert pina colada maker!

Sun. Feb. 12th- Attempt at church. Pictures at the temple. K’ala Kai Beach (airport beach) for some reading in the sun. Eric and the keys have so much fun frolicking in the ocean without a care in the world! Unfortunately for us, that meant a few hours stranded at said beach while we wait for a new set of keys. Eric makes a new friend. Then off to see the Manta Ray’s at the Marriot. Then home for another delicious home cooked meal of Steak.
