Parable of the Plumeria

Young Single Adult Activity-Hawaiian Style

  

This is the third annual 'YSA Island Wide - Slip and Slide'.

Yes, Island Wide. Our YSA Branch hosted this activity at Waimea Bay, and we had 750 people, of all ages, sign in and participate. It was some kind of fun! 

    

Waimea Bay before we showed up!

The sand is smoothed by dragging 2x4's over it, three layers of heavy plastic laid down, tucked in and secured by sand. 

Elder Cameron and President Fullmer, from the branch. He is the 
construction expert and supplier of the materials for this day. We never did figure out why he had this helmet on, but, when his wife showed up, she told him "you look like an idiot. Take it off". He did! He has the energy of ten men and the missionary spirit of a hundred men. He knows how to get things done!

Sign up table for the participants. They had to sign a liability waiver because someone got hurt, last year. We signed up people for seven hours.

This is Noah. Check out his spatula. It is made entirely from tin foil. There were 1000 hot dogs cooked. We could have used more. (And a real spatula).

Feeding the hungry sliders. Yup, 1000 hot dogs and buns and a boatload of condiments.

A few action shots!

A piece of carpet at the take-off. That white pipe has holes drilled along the length of it. It is connected to a tube that is is connected to a generator that continually pumps water which results in an island sized slide. Perfect! 

It was a memorable day.

Beautiful, Waimea Bay.
