Our Family Of Six: Dole Plantation

Sunday, July 29, 2012

On our way to Waimea Beach, we toured the Dole Plantation.

We went through the Pineapple Garden Maze searching for the 8 hidden checkpoints. Our time to beat is an hour.

Checking the map to see where the next checkpoint is...

Hooray!!! We found them all! Each checkpoint contained a stencil which we traced onto our timecard.

After the maze, we watched a pineapple cutting demonstration. We had a bite of the pineapple samples dusted with li hing powder. Yum!

Out of the Mouth of Babes

This conversation happened at Kneaders: "I am going to save the rest of this dessert for later." "You mean, so you can eat it in 5 minutes?"
"I didn't know poop could be so fun." Comments after a junior ranger activity held at Cedar Breaks National Park. The junior rangers were looking through owl scat to discover what the owl had eaten. Their owl ate a small rodent. :)
Overheard while riding in the car with E driving, "Should I be wearing a helmet?" "I'm too young to die."
We were discussing clean language and words to avoid. Someone spoke up and mentioned that they heard a student at school say the "B" word. We asked them to spell the forbidden word: BULK. We quickly told them that word was okay to use.
After a presentation, one of our children told their sibling, "I love you. Now, go sit down."
