Day 7 -Oahu

 This morning only Master Thomas needed to be up with the sun. Time for another surf lesson! Thomas has a heightened sense of confidence when it comes to surfing. He's on his 3rd lesson in life plus several summers of Wakeboard Camp. We fear that his confidence might land him in a heap o' trouble out in the open ocean, so we've opted to pay the professionals wrangle him. We've jokingly started calling him Bethany Hamilton all week. Not because we think he's going to be disfigured by a shark, but because we know nothing of surfing and we've seen Soul Surfer. So "Bethany Hamilton" and a flock of Canadian friends headed out with Ohana Surf Project for a morning of "shredding".  While the rest of the Bullingtons were slow to awake. We tired.

 

I took to the beach sharing sand and air with all sorts of folks. Most of them influencers. #Influencersgonnainfluence

I reckon I am not the target demographic of this gal. Upon observing her antics, I was not inclined to cup my parts (I'd prolly need more than two hands). But, I was most curious about her "handler". I'll call her Sad Cindy. She took a million photos of TikTonya and then sat in the hot sun editing and posting to social media whilst TikTonya frolicked in the ocean. Put yourself out there, Sad Cindy! This ain't no way to live! 

There were also grown men Boy Scouts and lots of precautions against sun (full body suits) and waves (adult water wings).  This particular inlet was neither too deep nor too rip-tidy, but lots of safety first. Unless you're me or a pale Canadian from Vancouver. We opted for the no-sunscreen-because-I-only-have-one-or-two-days-to-get-a- savage-tan train of thought. And now I am crispy sunburned. Perhaps I need to procure a full body suit....

This fella walked full on in the surf in his sock and shoes. #Bunionsnofunion

Waterwings and zero tan lines

SPF Level 1000

Some things never change

This Little Surfer Boy stepped on a Sea Urchin and found himself with a foot full of spines. But, a trip to
 Urgent Care and Baskin Robbins did the trick!

After deep frying ourselves at the beach, we dressed for a wonderful dinner at House Without A Key. A beautiful locale with delicious food and excellent live music, five out of five stars! 

Another Waikiki Sunset

Great Music at House Without A Key

We clean up alright
