Freaky Friday.....

Well since it was Black Friday and all I felt that since I didn't want to deal with the crowds and drive an hour to get to a store that I would do some shopping online that morning so that is what I did, then we decided after lunch that we would take the kids to Sharks Cove to do some snorkeling. This place is awesome, but bring shoes, it is an inlet that is protected by that large reef and the fish are everywhere. In the middle is Jon, Curtis and Bailee headed out to snorkel. 
 These 2 didn't even want to try so they just played in the water around all the rocks. Curtis didn't last to long because he couldn't get his mask to work so he came back to play with these 2. After Jon and Bailee got done, I went out with Bailee and that is when we ran into the turtle. He was hanging out on the bottom just eating away without a care in the world. We were stupid and completely forgot the GoPro so we will go back and get some great footage of the fish.
 So once we were done snorkeling we headed home to get ready to go to the High School Football State Championship game.
 Kahuku VS Punahou
 Now I don't know how to describe this accurately but this place goes above and beyond. So the right side of the pic is the other team, our team is standing in the end zone
 This side of the stadium is all Kahuku High supporters, and that doesn't include the end zone where we were sitting. Now all of these people are from where we live, and there is only a one lane road getting back home!! Yep imagine the traffic to get home
 Here's the cheerleaders getting ready to have the team come out
 and here they come!!!! You can't help but get pulled into all the excitement

 This picture doesn't show very well what happens when they go to kick off or score-now keep in mind that they are called the Kahuku Raiders (indian head with feather) so everyone stands up and has a white rag and with their arm up in the air act like they are chopping and it looks amazing. And then they have a chant that goes along with it. If you have ever watched Florida State they do that chant
It was one of the best games that I have ever been to. We took state-again with a score of 42-20. Now the ride home, just getting out of the Aloha Stadium took 35 minutes. Normally it is a 15 minute freeway and 45 minutes of a one lane road to home. Well it took a lot longer than that and once we got off the freeway the sides of the road were people with signs and yelling and honking of horns the rest of the way home. We live 15 minutes from the high school and once you got to the high school they had an after party that had fireworks and a party until around 3am. Kahuku football is life for the people here. We didn't go to the after party but heard about it. I have NEVER seen anything like this anywhere-this high school is known to have the best supporters around, and I can honestly say that they do!!
GO KAHUKU RAIDERS!!!!
