Aloha Stadium Swap Meet

We got up early this morning, put on our bathing suits, packed a bag, and about 20 minutes later we were out the door around 8:15 to catch a bus to Honolulu for the day.

Two cousins ready to get their Saturday started!


The bus always provides for some intense enetertainment. Today, as we passed a jail, the man sitting on the left pointed & said, "I use to live there for a year! Free rent, free food! But you have to wear uniforms! You can stay there too, if you want! Free rent!! Just punch a cop or something like that!" He grinned a big toothless smile & busted up laughing at himself. Then he told us he's glad he doesn't have to live there anymore, because he likes his current place much better--under a bridge. And letting us know, "under a bridge, still free rent!" This is only one conversation out of the 30 minutes next to him. We couldn't move to another spot because the bus was so packed. Oh goodness! Only the first few minutes were entertaining. Before we got off the bus, he let us know there would be a party tonight in Waikiki. He said, "lots of celebrities will be there! I know most of them. I'm friends with celebrities!" Well, we made it to Honolulu safely & we declined the offer to party it up in Waikiki! Of course!


We wanted to go to a beach today too, but the swap meet shopping kept us plenty busy!



Lindsi being an awesome big sister & checking out the goods for Halli girl! There were lots of things like these little jerseys making Jamie miss her little brothers, Trey and Warren.




This next pic of Lindsi is posted just for the Wilton family,
hooray for HAT DAYS!


Hawaii is too fun.



The shaved ice rocked!










Proverbs 16:20, "Happy is he who trust in the Lord."






There was a kick off to the Pro Bowl this afternoon and we could hear the National Anthem as we were walking around and Lindsi said, "Jamie, stop! Do you hear who that is? That is David Archuleta!!" She wanted to go beyond the gate to go see for herself. She was freaking out & called her mom--a big David Archuleta fan! We found out that infact Lindsi was right. David Archuleta was in Honolulu today singing the National Anthem!






We stayed outside all day and by the time we were headed back home, it was getting dark. Both of our cell phones died sometime during the day & little did we know, our roommates were at home wondering if we were okay. They thought we were only going to be gone a couple of hours, so when it started to get late & both of our phones were dead, they began to really worry. Alright, worry would be an understatement. They freaked out! Not mentioning any names, but one of them called the cops! When we got home, we felt bad, but we couldn't help but laugh. But hey, it's nice to know that we have true friends that care about us and are watching out for us. Anyway, we all had an awesome Saturday doing different things in HAWAII!

  1. Time grabs you by the wrist;
    Directs you where to go.

    So make the best of this question known as why.
    It's not a question but a lesson learned in time.

    It's something unpredictable
    But in the end it's right.
    I hope you had the time of your life.

    So take the photographs
    And still frames in your mind.

    Hang it on a shelf
    In good health and good time.

    Tattoos of memories
    And dead skin on trial.

    For what it's worth,
    It was worth all the while.

    It's something unpredictable
    But in the end it's right.
    I hope you had the time of your life.

    Green Day puts what I want to say best. And hip hip hooray for "blogs". The technology in all of this is a straight up miracle! What my Mom would've given to be able to be so personally connected with stories & visuals of this "time of my life". And to think if I wasn't anti-spacebook or myface or whatever it's called, I could be even more connected to the scene. But no, keep the blog posts coming, that's right down my alley, brings me so much joy, so happy for you, & all that jazz.
