I've been spending a lot of time at the Bishop Museum over the summer. We invested in the family yearly pass, so it is a great air conditioned place to escape to with Gabe and friends. Over the weekend the museum was host to Farm Fair. We stopped at Starbucks for breakfast and caffeine fuel and entered the gates a few minutes after opening.
We took advantage of the valet parking and as members of the museum, our fee for Farm Fair was waved. I love a free event. Our first stop, the 4H tent. We saw chickens, bunnies, cows, sheep, and my favorite, the pigs. I was happy to see the animals early on before too much heat and stink set in. Next, we wandered through the huge farmers market, where we scoped out things to munch on later.
Gabe was getting a little antsy and repeatedly informed us that it was time to actually
go inside the museum and check out his favorite exhibit---the volcano. It was the perfect chance to cool off and take a break from the summer sun rays. A few Hawaiian lessons, some scoldings to stop running and keep his voice down, and several bathroom breaks later, we found ourselves back outside for more Farm Fair. My favorite aspect of the event? The incredible ling hi
mui pineapple that was refreshing, sweet, and cheap. This fruit snack is the definition of summertime in Hawaii.
Isom and Gabe shared a real Ginger soda (blech)---the definition of gross drinks. The final farm fair food? Cotton candy. Not just any flavor. Banana for our monkey. Next time, we might have to go with ordering shave ice instead.
