hawaii highlights

We're home from Hawaii!  We had a wonderful week hanging out with my parents.  The girls had so much fun - when I told them we were going home, Malia said she's really going to "miss Hawaii".  They love it there.  Here are some of the highlights from our trip - 

The girls got to attend a day of Kamehameha preschool at the Queen Liliokalani Children's Center in Punaluu. They opened with hawaiian songs and language, then went to different stations of arts and crafts and other games, then closed with lunch.  They loved it!

I went to a GNO at Hazel's house with Keaka, Sarah and Miki (who was visiting from the Big Island).  We talked, laughed, ate (a lot) and played Dance Central (I have video I'm saving if I ever need to black mail anyone).  I love these girls!

Papa taught Tali how to sweep! Yes!

And lastly, the three little banana keikis in the backyard were officially named after Malia, Kina and Tali.

Most of all, the biggest highlight of the trip was just hanging out with my mom and dad.  Since my dad is now  RETIRED (woohoo!) we got to spend a lot of quality time with him.  The girls loved it.  It was a wonderful short trip.  As a huge bonus, I got to fly home on the same flight as my mom (who came to Utah to attend a few of Michael's games).  I totally lucked out and got bulkhead seats right next to her.  Each girl had their own seat and each girl slept the whole way home.  Ah! It was lovely.

Aloha oe, Hawaii!
