We decided we wanted to hike the waterfall. My Family, Kims (Petes Sis) and Granny all went. It was prettier than I imagined. It was perfect, not just a flat path but not too hard for the kids or me packing along Kadence. There were some bolders to climb and the kids loved it. Kadence did awesome, just tagged along for the ride and the boys didnt complain at all either. Manoa Falls took about 2 hours total.
After that we headed back to the hotel to go for a swim on the beach then the pool. @ 3pm Crystals family, and Aunt Dolly got in. We showered and headed about 10 min away to Fishermans Wharf (Charter Boats).
We went to a picnic area were a man brought Tonys Ashes wrapped in leaves and flowers. They had 7 men from the military who performed a beautiful service with a flag, trumpets, and riffle shooting. They presented to flag to Rose along with their condolances.
We then got on the boat and headed out to sea. The spot was outside of Magic Island. You could see Diamond Head from there also. We stopped there and Crystal said some words about how we came back to the first home Tony gave them and that we were dedicating this week and family time to him. Pete then carried his dad down the nsteps and kissed him and placed his ashes into the water. Everyone threw flowers into the water, even Kadence. It was beautiful. We then circled the spot for a while while everyone remembered our Pappa. It was perfect and couldnt have been any better. Im sure he would have loved it. After that the captain let all the kids drive the boat for a minute and Jacob drove it all the back and even parked it. After we headed to the Spaghetti Factory for dinner. It was 8:30 ther but 11:30 our time. Both boys were out right before the food came.
