since penny's 3rd birthday was lost somewhere in the stratosphere above the international date line, kelley wanted to throw her a proper party in hawaii- she balked at my suggestion that her party might be a trip to korea and hawaii. it did, however, provide us with the perfect opportunity to get malasadas at leonard's famous waikiki bakery. ever the entrepreneur, five year old scott's mother had forbad him sell anything to family relatives during the course of the trip. he did however, set up a complimentary pearl harbor information booth for guests of the party. the information booth was running quite well until it surfaced that he had actual uss arizona artifacts such as rocks and plastic cutlery recovered from the historic wreckage. the gift shop side of the business was promptly shut down, but at $1.25 a fork, how could you go wrong? even if you're not a history enthusiast or can't turn a profit through a third party buyer, you've still got a perfectly usable fork for $1.25. (yes, the forks were in surprisingly good condition for having been recovered from beneath the sea.)
scott nearly injured himself diving for the most heavily sugared donut at the top left. (i would say he was peeing his pants waiting for it, but we've already established that scott and i do that in the ocean only.) he waited, as instructed for the birthday girl to chose first, but when she made a less sweet selection, he certainly didn't give her any window to reconsider.

Hey, when did the USS Arizona forks drop to $1.25? I want a refund!
It sounds like so much fun! I wish Mary could have been there with the rest of the cousins.
You guys are such beach bums! Get back to work :) Just kidding- looks like a blast!
Cassidy and I once paid $2.00 for a pack of ten USS Arizona forks at a Waikiki grocery store, only to come home and realize that they were replicas. What an embarrassment. It's good to know that there is someone out there still pushing the authentic product.
