Dancing for Him

or Hula no ke Akua

My oldest was on photo duty yesterday. It was a job he took on with relish; though I have to admit I was afraid he'd run the battery out before he got any shots of us dancing!

This one gives you an idea of some of the conditions of our surroundings. When we dance here we have people on all sides of us and some standing on hotel balconies to watch. It's really rather odd...

This was when we were running through "Salt and Light". It's always different to dance in the sand and bright sun, the balance is totally different. As you can tell by the expressions one of the guys that runs the service here was talking to us and totally distracting us! The actual performance went much smoother;)



The boy took several candid shots. It cracked me up to see what he took.
But seriously don't these haiku's make us look a bit like sheep dogs with the hidden eyes? :D Actually now that I look at it my head piece looks a little low in the back too :P





Dancing "I Can Sing of Your Love Forever"


The ladies and keiki of the halau who danced today.

Luau time

The kids and I went the Hale Koa Luau last night.
My favorite luau is still the PCC-better food and better seating in my opinion. I had to stand to see the show at the Hale Koa but a bonus of the show last night was the boys who had a lot of energy could run on the grass and play and not distract others.

With all their creations.



My kung fu fighter;)


Trying their hand at some activities.

Outdoors

We visited one of our favorite places a few weeks ago. Ho'omaluhia Botanical Gardens.

Just a few pictures to share.


The oldest found something to sketch in his nature journal.

#3 was impressed with the size of this leaf.

#2 thought it made a great umbrella.


I have been missing lately as I can't decide whether to keep up with the blog or not. Things around the home are going a little crazy which has me undecided. But I was at a conference this weekend and one of the workshops I took was about blogging...which has me interested once again;) So time to reevaluate!

Air show out takes

A week or two ago we went to an airshow. The kids had a great time until I made them sit on the Hot, Sunny, Black top to watch my favorite part : The Blue Angels!





Our little pilots.....




If we don't fly this one we could ride in the back.

Going for a ride with Civil Air Patrol?


The first plane we took a picture of because #3 loved the little plane!


I guess the little one lucked out with not one picture of him.....we will have to remedy that soon!

Birthday girl at the beach

From Thursday:

Our lovely birthday girl at the end of the day! Like the sun kissed eyes?



Proof that I was actually there...and that I leave the house in things that don't match!


Love this!


It's crab hunting time!!

Just a link to share

Celebrating the man's birthday today. Working on a yummy dinner of Parmesan Chicken on a bed of noodles and green beans(decided it was too hot today to bake french bread to go with). The kids helped me make German Chocolate Cake last night and we have French Vanilla ice cream to go with. A good eating day here!

Now on to the post to share. A Marriage Post on Women Living Well Blog. All her points are excellent verses to live by. They have definitely been on my heart/mind often.

CPO in the house

Last week James stepped up the ladder a bit and got promoted. We are so happy for him!
We had our first Khaki Ball to go to over the weekend.

We had our pictures taken there. I think the cameraman actually got him to smile so can't wait to get those pictures and see! ;)

They had the newbies sing their favorite song Anchor's Aweigh.



You really felt a sense of kinship in the room as all stood and they sang with pride.
