WFF: field trip to Dole Plantation

This weekend family fun took us to Dole Plantation in Haleiwa to feed the koi fish, ride the train and eat Dole Whip (pineapple flavored ice cream).

Today was surprisingly windy and cold and raining on-and-off. This girl marched in like she was on a mission. [I realize she's not matching at all, haha!]


Me and Brooke mid-run. I'm probably telling her to hurry up... sometimes she walks at a snails pace


Feeding the koi




This caused a fish frenzy




I think they're kind of gross like this...


Fish pond...


Isn't it so pretty?


Me and Lil B and a baby pineapple


Daddy and his girl


Finally we bought some Dole whip, which is ah-mazing! Lil B especially liked the cherry




Mid-bite... thanks for the super flattering picture daddy...


Then we walked around and spotted some CHICKENS!


She looks like she's enjoying them but she was actually TERRIFIED of them. Vance made it even better by chasing her and saying "the chickens are gonna get you!"


Then we left and went to get saimin at a little hole in the wall that I love! ♥
we didn't get to ride the train or do the maze because it was so cold today, so I guess we'll have to go back another day...

  5. We've had Dole Whip at Disney last year and it was delish!

    Those fish all coming out of the water like that looked kinda scary!

    Don't ya just hate when the weather puts a damper on your plans?! Looks like y'all ended up having a fabulous day though none the less.

  8. Hi there!
    I'm Brooke, too. Your little Brooke so precious. And, yes, I do like my name. I know she will too! Maybe she'll be a "babbling Brooke" like I was and get in trouble at school for talking all the time. Ha!
