Pearls before Sand

On our way to the beach we stopped off at the Dole Plantation. We didn't do any of the tours but walked around the gardens to see all the different variety of pineapple. I didn't realize how many different kinds there were. The coolest ones were the red ones as you can see in the picture. Unfortunately they turn to a regular color when they become ripe. When we were in the gift shop there was a lady selling clams guarunteeing that their would be a pearl inside and if we were lucky enough their may even be two. The lady did say she has yet to sell one with two pearls. Well Celeste decided to try her luck and luck would have it her clam produced two pink pearls! The lady drilled a couple holes into them so that she could make earings or a put them on a necklace. But my lady is quite the lucky one.
