Weekend Adventures

This was a weekend of firsts for the Zimmerman's. We've now been on Oahu for just under 9 months, and there is still so much we haven't done. We finally got to check off two of those things this week(end): The Polynesian Cultural Center (PCC), and Shark's Cove.
I got an e-mail saying that the night show, "Ha-Breath Of Life", was going to be free for faculty, staff, and students. It was being filmed that night, so I'm sure it was to fill the seats. We got there early and spent some time wondering about the grounds. 

This guy was about to show how to crack coconuts open with a rock.


 River rides.


Moai Statues of Rapa Nui (Easter Island).


 The stage for the night show. I learned that there are easily over 100 dancers that perform basically every night. The same performers do this time after time with such happy expressions, never seeming to tire of the routine.


 My smokin' hot date and I.
After the show Sarah started balling like a babbling brook. Once a month she has a good cry, and it's usually very random and quite hilarious (she admits so herself). I, not being too sensitive in that moment (I'm sorry, Sarah) saw my religion teacher, Elder Olson, and insisted we go say hello. She could not pull herself together and stood there crying as we spoke with them.

This is my baby mama, 14 weeks pregnant, in Shark's Cove.


After Shark's Cove we were to be showering off to then meet back up with Jake and Erica Hansen for the rest of the evening since they leave Wednesday. Sarah got to poking around on Craigslist and found a brown crib/diaper changer she'd been dreaming of, only 7 minutes away. We got there and ended up leaving with a car-seat and matching stroller as well. All of this was very affordable (Chicco brand, like new, for 20% of the retail value). This new bundle now crowding our only walkway was a huge blessing, and now an adventure as we find room for it. 


Baby stuff is to Sarah, as motorcycle is to Zach.
