The first day we started everything off at Mac 24-7 Resaraunt and Bar in our hotel. They had my favorite - pancakes! 3 14" pancakes for $15. And if a single person finishes them in under 30 minutes, they get them free!
I tried but could not finish them. Mommy and Daddy tried to help me out too, but we still could not finish them.
Next we were off to visit the Dole Pineapple Plant located on Oahu.
We took a train ride around the grounds of the Pineapple plant, you know how I like trains!
Mommy had to leave to go to a work meeting, so we spent some time in the largest maze in the world - according to the 2008 Guinness Book of World Records. It took a while, but we found all the hidden shapes, and had a lot of fun.
When Mommy returned from her meeting we were off to the North Shore.
When we got there we found out they were having a Surf Competition. We watched for a while, but soon Daddy and McKenzie came up with a new competition - Touch the rock while avoiding the big waves.
Day Two:
The next day we were off to Hanamu Bay to go Snorkeling. I didn't do much snorkeling, even though Mommy and Daddy said it was nice. I was more interested in making sand castles.
Hiking Koko Crater - Try Number 1
That afternoon while I was taking a nap, half the group went out to go for a little crater hiking. After some quick searches they found Koko Crater. Mommy read some guys blog and found a potential hiking trail to the top.
After a short climb, it was clear that this was not the safest trail - it would have involved a little rock climbing with no gear, so everyone headed back to the car.

On the way back to the hotel, mommy saw a few things moving on a path on the side of the crater. It was people! So everyone decided to try and get the hike in before dark. When they arrived they saw that it was an old rail track and people were climbing to the top - 1200 feet straight up a hill. It was 6:00 and sun sets at 6:30, and we were told it took about an hour to get to the top and back.
On the way up we saw an excellent sunset and Daddy saw his first sunset green flash.
On the way down it got pretty dark. Daddy and Mommy had to use their cell phones as flashlights to see.
Day Three:
On our last day on Oahu Mommy and Daddy, went to Pearl Harbor memorial to pay tribute to the fallen soldiers, and learn about the attack that brought the United States into World War II.

You are too cute in your swim suit and sun glasses. You look like a real surfer dude! What big pancakes you had. Those are big enough for a whole family, and I'm so glad you found your way out of that maze. I would have been worried about you. Can't wait to hear about the rest of the trip.
