In early August, we had some return visitors from Texas and we were pretty stoked to see our friends!

Tyler and Hunter (very Texas names) have been to Bay View previously, and even had the very same guide in their previous outing. We remembered them as soon as we saw them of course! From our perspective, the boys were a bit taller and stronger, but we never forget a face.

From their perspective, all was ‘in order’ as they remembered it… they had the same gear, same zip line guide, and all was to their approval. They were quick to point out that the tad poles now swimming in Bay View’s water features were new though. We said we tried to get ahold of them for the meeting regarding this decision…

We all remember that time in our lives when we were “just barely” too small for something… be it a ride on a roller coaster, or getting picked for big brother’s football team. Our friends Lindsey and Allison (with a combined weight of a potato sack) told us they run into that problem often. But we had good news for them… for Oahu’s only zipline, they were the perfect size!

Here’s a pic of Lindsey way out in front of Grandpa Ron. The whole family had a great time with us, and you too will join us for a day of fun with family and friends.

For the past few months, the guys and girls of HEARTS (Hawaii Education of the ARTS) have been rehearsing for their upcoming performance of the classic play “Annie”. The rehearsal area is adjacent to our staging area for ziplines, meaning our guests have been treated to singing and tap dancing while gearing up!

The cast occasionally take their breaks over here at Bay View Mini-Putt and Zipline, trading their tap shoes for zipline gear. We think watching everyone have so much fun on the zipline is just too tempting!

The show is at the Paliku Theatre at Windward Community College in Kaneohe from July 20-21 and July 26-28. Take it from us, the cast sounds great, and the show will be one to remember. We’ve even learned a few tunes ourselves as a result of our new neighbors, but so far no roles have been offered to Bay View employees…

The 4th of July brought many visitors looking to gain independence from the ground!

Here’s Sonny and Gabrielle, ready to take their first run… Aloha guys!
