As we began the morning, Bridget decided that Crabby and Crabette should get married! So while Katie was spinning a large spider web around the kitchen and dining table, Bridget (with some help from Becky) made wedding cloths for the happy couple. When finished we set off to find a site to do wedding photos. On the nearby beach Bridget found a ledge in a small cave that was perfect. She wore her veil and Katie found a piece of line to brighten up the shot. The photo shoot was interrupted by a serious rain shower so we hurried home to dry out.
We dressed up for a delightful brunch at the Officers Club. This base is as large as a little city and still expanding. It was too rainy for beaches so we went to see the Bishop Museum. Chris fell in love with it. It was a gorgeous 1850's building which Bishop (American) dedicated to his wife after she died (Hawaiian royalty) to preserve Hawaiian history and customs. Because he was so financially astute and honest and because she was so good and generous, they were fully accepted by both cultures. The museum included pre-history of how the islands developed from volcanos (with demonstration) and settled, a section on dinosaurs (with moving examples including new discoveries of feathered ones), and a global section with a planetarium.
So happy for Crabby and Crabette, they shouldn't be together in your dark bag, alone, without the nuptials. Parting may be sad when Crabette comes home to her family in Cali at the end of her adventure!! Maybe they can send messages in bottles to each other.
ReplyDeleteCannot believe how big Bridget has gotten! Last time I saw her she & Lucas were toddling around the side porch at your house. Bridget was only in a diaper then.
ReplyDeleteCarolyn - what do you mean Crabbette will have to return to California?!?!?! You will break up the happy couple right after their honeymoon, that's not nice!
