Rachel and Cameron couldn't wait to get to the water on Waikiki. Reb and I sunned a little bit while they played.
After the beach we went and cleaned up and headed to the International Market Place so they could get the Henna Tattoo's they wanted. It took forever to get all of them done!
First Rebecca.
Of course then Cameron
Last but not least Rachel and the tattoo that was twice the size she thought that it would be.
It was so hot while we waited that we went into Payless to cool down and see if I could find a pair of sandals that were black. We had a lot of fun trying on shoes, the crazier the better.
After Kerry got off of work we walked down to the beach to decide where we were going for dinner. Friday afternoons are always a Regatta just off of Waikiki.
Oops cut the head off of the statue.
As we walked down Waikiki we discovered that on Waikiki that night was the Pan Pacific Festival. The street was closed down with all kinds of vendors and entertainment we wandered and found what we wanted for dinner. It was a terrific place to people watch some of the outfits were unbelievable.
The only bad thing about the festival was that the regular sidewalk people were not out doing the things that we love to watch normally. The living statues are one of my favorite things to go and watch.
We walked down to watch the fireworks from the Hilton Hawaiian. We were on the pier and I looked back and saw the moon directly over Diamond Head, the picture actually turned out better than I thought it would.
As we walked back we went past this vendor with these two huge woks the food they were preparing smelled so good. They could feed huge crowds with these woks.
I'm always in for a fireworks display!!!
A walk along the beach on the way back to the Hotel.
I love these quiet moments.
The last picture of the night, it didn't turn out quite a well as the other but it is pretty interesting.
It goes to show that while we are all taking our turns at seeing the sights of Oahu' there are always different and fun things to do.

Closing Kalakua in Waikiki is a pretty common occurance. Last weekend was the Korean Festival.
