Oops, I washed the key......

So Dad was having soooo much fun in the water, and as Brad, Marilyn and Dad came out of the water Marilyn asked Dad if she could have the key so she could get something out of the car. Dad says, "Sure". Just then he realized that he had the key in his swimming shorts for the last hour and a half. Normally this wouldn't be a problem. Luckily the key was still in his pocket, but this was a key with a FOB, that has a computer chip in it. We thought, oh well let's give it a try. Marilyn headed up to the car and a couple minutes later we hear someone's car alarm going off. I said, "I bet you $10 that that is our car." Sure enough it was. She was able to get into the car, but it set off the alarm and it wouldn't turn off. Here they are filming a movie on the beach with this car blaring in the background. Everyone was giving her dirty looks like, "Hey lady, turn off the car!" Dad and Brad went running up there and after what seemed like 10 minutes they got the hood up and somehow disconnected the alarm as Marilyn and I sat on the beach giggling. Long story short, Dad had to get ahold of AAA after 1/2 an hour of getting the run around from Enterprise Car rental and $300 later and 2 hours of waiting they had someone out there to reprogram our key. Expensive swim Dad had. I am proud of him though because he didn't let it ruin his day. After the car ordeal was over he spent 2 more hours in the water. This pic is of Brad taking the key FOB apart and trying to fix it. No luck. Brad letting loose.....
Long day coming to an end.



We love this beach.



After the beach we went and had Mexican food in Haleiwa. The clock is ticking......our time is almost up.........
