We arrived back in Hawaii early evening on the 31st. Coming through the mountains on the H3 to the windward side, we were already seeing fireworks in the sky before dark!
Not having anything in our fridge for supper, we were invited to our friends house for a New Years Party. We unloaded our luggage, showered, and headed up to the party for some awesome food.
Jetlagged and exhausted from our day of traveling, we feasted on King Crab Legs, amazing Ahi and Ono fish, bacon wrapped asparagus, and a table full of delicious pupus that were much better than the pizza we had planned on ordering that night!
We enjoyed being back home and visited with our friends for a while before calling it an early night and heading home. The kids were in bed by 9 and Nick and I went soon after. However, laying in bed listening to the fireworks was like laying in bed while the entire town of Kaneohe was under fire.
I have to say this years' most popular fire works was something related to an M80 on steroids. Our neighbors must have smuggled in cases of them. Just when I attempted to doze off again for the umpteenth time, BOOOM! The house would rattle and it was so much for sleeping. I have no idea how the kids were able to sleep through all that.
This went on all night. Finally minutes before midnight, I gave up, grabbed the camera, and headed out to our upstairs lanai. Here is a brief show of what Kaneohe looks like at the stroke of midnight. There are so many people shooting off fireworks, that the sky is full of smoke. You can't even see half of them because of it. Unfortunately, you can still hear them all!!!!
I love fireworks, but after the day we had, I just wanted to sleep. The fireworks didn't cease until after 1:ooAM.
The dog was going so crazy that I had to put her kennel in the closet so that her barking was muted....
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
