left my house this morning heading into the rainbow. i knew it was going to be an awesome day!
had the great day with Mr. and Mrs. Iwata-san. we had 3 days of fun last year. we got so close so i feel like they are my own Mama and Papa. so that’s what i call them. bummer their daughter Noriko-san couldn’t come this year. but omg, we had a full day of fun into the wild! surfed for 2 hours and had a blast!
then went to my secret dim sum restaurant in china town.
yes, everybody loves it here!
especially the sweet sour cabbage noodles.
and especially especially the sesame balls!
then needed time to digest so we went into the wild! it was so beautiful!!!
found my avocado tree and had some ripe fruit! i was thinking and thinking of how to get it. all the avocados are super high up in the tree and the tree is hanging off a 400′ cliff. Mama and Papa told don’t even think about climbing it. i said “ok.” but in my mind, i wanted to climb it.
so when Mama and Papa went into the deep forest for a hike, i started walking back to my car to wait for them. then Mama yelled back to me “don’t climb the tree!” haha. she knew that i was going to try. haha.
dirty pants. not the right clothes to go into a muddy mountain with. oh well, it’s only dirt right?
Papa’s feet were so dirty! haha. after having a great time in the mountain, we all wanted to jump back into the ocean again to clean up.
from the time we left the top of the mountain and got into the ocean, it took us less than 30 minutes. that’s why i tell people that hawaii is the best! where else in the world can you be deep in the forest high in the mountain, then 30 minutes later be deep in the blue ocean? look how dirty Mama’s pants were. haha. she’s so cute!
and yes, it was a gorgeous day! picture perfect all day long!
Mama and Papa tried snorkeling for their first time in their life on maui the other day. it was snorkeling in knee high deep water right off the shore. i call that beginner snorkeling. so today, i took them into the waves, current, wind, and deeper water. i call that expert snorkeling. pretty much into the wild for them. it was an amazing experience! i have some amazing footage on my camera. coming soon.
Mama and Papa were super stoked to see the beautiful underwater world i love so much. a life changing day for sure.
then ended it off with bubbies mochi ice cream. i bet Mama and Papa Iwata will be sleeping good tonight. i sure will. thank you both for a wonderful day of all kinds of wild activities! and thank you Noriko-san for letting me enjoy this beautiful day with your awesome parents. i’m sure you will hear all the stories when they get back to japan tomorrow. we had a blast!!!
