Dear Family & Friends,
Hello people. Yah, really the only interesting thing that happened this month was that I went to Hawaii. Which I guess is pretty interesting. We went to the island of Oahu. We stayed in a cool Vrbo with a pickleball court. We went to the dole plantation a few times and it was a lot of fun. The dole whip there was amazing and we almost missed our flight home because we had to grab some on our way. The gardens were very cool and it has a very interesting history.
Of course, we went to the beach a lot. We had some beach stuff at the Vrbo including some boogieboards that didn't quite work but were still fun. I would say I liked Bear Lake more though because I hate salt water. It's very annoying and it tasted bad and hurts your eyes. Match that with the sun and your eyes are not very happy. But I did like the sun and the sand.
We went to the Pearl Harbor memorial thing. It was pretty cool but also sad. I'm glad that we could repair relations with Japan because they are cool.
We went ziplining which was very fun but not the most scenic. It was fun to do lots of tricks on the zipline and it was well worth our limited time on Hawaii. I loved the pink helmets and that just made me feel that much safer.
We went up Waimea Valley twice. The first time we just hiked up to the cool waterfall and swam around a bit. It was also a great time for me and my brothers to get all the sand out of our swimsuits :).
The second time we did the buffet and show. We had some fun activities before and then the food was good and I really liked the show. The fire show was really cool and there was even a little kid that was in it. I wish I was that talented.
School started so yah. I'll opt out of all the usual grumbling and just say that it has started out pretty good. I started my sophomore year at the highschool and I haven't been broken down yet.
Love, Kyle Patrick Barnhisel
