Engagemen....Anniversary Hike

sometime before 02.20.12

mm: i would like to take you on an anniversary hike.

ko: okay! (hmmm…that’s odd… he never says he wants to go hiking; more so on an anniversary hike o_O)

monday 02.20.12 (our anniversary)

mm: let’s kayak out to chinaman’s hat. i heard you can hike to the top.

ko: you sure? the weather doesn’t look good (looking outside, it’s overcast & windy).

mm: yeah, it’ll be fine!

ko: ohhh maybe i’ll tell ally!  she wanted to go to the beach this weekend.

mm: but…. that’s not a good engagemen…(oops!)…i mean…anniversary hike.

but kathy didn’t really think much of the comment.  we start packing up snacks, shoes, towels and head over to his parents house to load the kayak onto the truck.

ko: i don’t know if we should go … look at the weather! I don’t want to die!

mm: it’ll be fine.

we start lugging the heavy kayak up the hill and into the bed of the truck (this is not an easy task!).  as he is about to tie it down, by golly it starts raining!!!

ko: i don’t think we should go. i really don’t want to die! we can go another time.

mm: ugh…okay then.

we unload the kayak and drag it back down the hill and lock it in place on the deck. we decide to go to lanikai beach (sunny but still very windy) where we were disgusted with the super fine sand being blown all over the place – in our food, on our towels, sticking to our bodies. we ended up relocating to sherwoods which was much better but still….

“ENGAGEMENT HIKE” WAS A BUST!
