1st official beach day

Saturday 5.12.12 was the first hot, calm, wonderful day for the beach...

Getting suited up

Playing...

Wasn't too thrilled to be leaving...

But this yumminess was cooking and waiting to be eaten when we got home...

Nice view ;)

A video update...

The open-air market we went to in France last Saturday...

Kaian dancing to a live band in a plaza in France...

Kaian's first time splashing in the ocean!  It was very cold, so we tried not to let him in too much, but that boy sure does love the water...

Photo Update

Some pics of our Turkey Day...

Michael's brother Luke came out last Thursday to help finish remodeling. Here are some pictures of their work tiling the lanai...

They went surfing on Saturday...

We got to got to a Christmas Festival in Holualoa Saturday night. So much fun! Businesses had booths set up selling or giving away hot drinks and food, people selling things, and live music stations were set up along the way. There was even a pop-up tent with Santa. We ate dinner at a restaurant we'd been wanting to try, and just had a great time overall!!!

Busy day at the beach on King Kamehameha Day...

Yummy double chocolate chip cookie from Subway!

Happy happy after a refreshing swim!

What is King Kamehameha ("King Kam") Day, you ask? It is a day to honor King Kamehameha I, who conquered and united the Hawaiian Islands and became the first ruler of the "Hawaiian Kingdom" in 1795. King Kamehameha V designated June 11th as a public holiday, and the first year it was celebrated was in 1872. If you want to read more about it, go here or here.

Sunset Stroll...

Last Friday we went down to Anaeho'omalu Beach (A-Bay) to watch the sunset...
