One of the best things about Kerry traveling to Hawaii is having the ability to have each of the kids come to spend time on the Island with us. Rebecca is the exception because she has already been there twice and she was able to come again. Rachel finished school last week and so they decided to celebrate by taking a their to Honolulu. Even though they technically arrived before us we were still able to present them with a lei.
Rachel and Rebecca decided that we didn't celebrate Kerry's birthday with quite enough style so they planned to decorate his office and give him a cake. It was up to me to arrange for him to be out of the office long enough for them to decorate it. I had no phone number or email address for some of the people there so I had to spend a little time figuring things out. Once I finally got things worked out we went to meet him for lunch and get things set up. He was expecting us for lunch just nothing beyond that. I had arranged to put things inside of a door and wait to make sure he was in a meeting in another office. When we got there he walked around the corner just as we walked in, we had to punt very quickly, thanks to Julia we were able to do so. Rebecca came up with a plan to get Kerry to go to the offices below looking for a paper trimmer. We told him that we would be down after we all had a restroom break. As soon as they left the room we began a race to blow up balloons and hang streamers. Rachel assembled a Ho Ho cake and then we went to meet them.
He was actually surprised when he came back in. He was quite amused by the whole thing. There were several people from the office came to take a peek at what was going on.
The Ho Ho cake was one of the first things he saw when he went in to the office.
It's funny to see this picture in the picture he really laughed at the card.
Blowing out the candles (we forgot the matches!)
While the girls finished decorating Kerry tried to get some work done.
The silly string was really weird and the longer it stayed on the more difficult it was to get it off of the wall. In fact Kerry could still see an imprint in the paint as he cleaned it off.
Kerry was looking at the can and then all of a sudden he and Rebecca had a mini silly string fight. Which surprised me more than anything that day. It was really fun to be there with him for awhile.
On our way back to the Hotel we stopped to the Alamona Mall and wandered around a little and then down Waikiki. Later that night we went to "Teddy's" for burgers. A really fun place that Kerry found. Of course we knew that Cameron would like this place.
We tried to get tickets to the PCC for Saturday but they were all sold out we had to rearrange our plans a little bit.
