This morning we went to a farmers market before heading to church at Kailua Baptist. The market was neat but like all things in Hawaii it was expensive. It would have been fun to get breakfast there but we had already eaten so we opted for some german pretzels (I can't resist a bread pretzel).
The church service was nice and the people were very welcoming. It is always interesting to see what other churches are doing. There was a corporate confession which I would add to every worship gathering if I was in the position to do so. The service was all outlined in a printed booklet with helpful hints that I appreciated as a visitor. They noted that most people received the benediction with open palms... just things you wouldn't know if you didn't regularly attend.
After church we made some lunch and then headed to the beach for some more body surfing. I didn't last long... (my abs have been sore, I think it might be from the beach walking/running but I could really feel it in the waves).
Next we visited "Book Ends" which we thought might be similar to a chapters but it turned out to be a used book store. I have a confession... I don't like used book stores. I'm sorry... I hope we can still be friends. It's just messy and smelly and hard to find things. I know many people who would love to spend hours getting lost in a used book store... to me the thought just evokes panic.
There was a Donut King right next door so we picked up a dozen donuts for dessert and played the donut game (everyone is assigned a card number... in this case Ace through Jack and when your card comes up you pick a donut... we go youngest to oldest so Naomi is usually the ace unless we are playing with my niece or nephews).
Everyone has gone to bed early because we are waking up early to do a hike.
