Baseball in Paradise

Hello everyone, I hope you enjoyed your 4th of July.  Sorry this blog is a little late, I’ve been having difficulty getting on the internet out here.  Lucky for us, our 4th of July happened to fall on our off day, Wednesday.  We made it our goal to go to the beach all day and it just so happened that the whole Hawaiian Baseball League and the whole rest of the island decided to have the same goal.  So we left pretty much as soon as we woke up.  Little did we know it was also national float on a raft day out on Waikiki Beach.  So we immediately purchased floats when we found out.

Being rookies to national float day we thought we would be able to blow up our own floats…False…We needed help.  Luckily every store down at Waikiki came prepared with pumps for the floats.  So we had our floats, we had our spot on the beach, and we had a perfect day.  Sorry to those of you who had to deal with the rain back in New England…  We ended up staying at the beach from about noon until sundown when the fireworks started on the beach.  There were literally 100 different sets of fireworks on the beach it felt like.  No matter where you went you were bound to find some.

After the fireworks pretty much the whole island stayed on the Waikiki strip.  People were walking around with crazy American pride outfits and setting off their own fireworks on the beach.  There was never a dull moment.   All In all it was a very eventful 4th of July and I couldn’t have asked for a better location to enjoy it in.
