hawaii:day seven

all about the food again...

ok... so remember how i said that we are now leonards fans...

well we are enough of a leonards fan that we went back for a second day...

this time brent tried their flavor of the month: lilikoi... and jones had their pao doce... or a portuguese sausage baked in a sweet bread... and then we tried the cinnamon and sugar malasadas instead of the originals... yumm!

oh... and i love that in this picture... you can see the leonards sign in the background...

on to the splash pad... thank you sheraton hotel... our hotel did not have a kid friendly pool...

jones would have played here forever if we would have let him...

we agreed that someday... we want to have a backyard with a splash pad like this... but rubberized...

next stop... matsumotos...

so my aunt and uncle who went to byu hawaii and lived there for awhile told us that we had to come here and that we had to try the hawaiian shaved ice with ice cream and beans... yep... you read it right with beans...

...my first bite... amazing... the hawaiian ice is perfectly shaved... not hard at all... the flavors are so good... i got mango and coconut... then under that is a layer of beans then the ice cream... i was a little apprehensive... i mean who puts beans in ice cream... or shaved ice... weird...

even more weird... i loved it... after my first bite... and thinking that i would hate this very different and weird concoction... i loved it... one of the best... no... the best shaved ice ever!

brent thinks not so much... he had the same thing... but strawberry and coconut... his words...

i am confused

next... dinner time... we had another place that was a must eat destination...

giovannis...

this shrimp truck is famous... and see that truck... that is all it is... not much... but they do awesome... go ahead... read about it....

shrimp was great! i had their famous garlic shrimp and brent had the hot and spicy shrimp...

so very messy, but delish...

next stop... our camp grounds... i did a little research and found some cool camping spots before we left... this is one of the things i was most looking forward to... it was so fun and it was free... all we had to do is go to a city office in honolulu to get a permit and then we were free to camp... we found an awesome place at kokololio beach park... a huge park that is right on the beach near the north shore and laie...

then we had to make smores... what is camping without a smore...
