We had tutu and me in the morning. The kids made dinosaur sandwiches. They loved eating them.
Kili playing blocks
The dinosaur puzzle we were so excited to finish
They also sang to Mika and she passed out her treats. Rice Krispie treats and Capri Suns.
The tumble bus came and it was pouring. The parents got umbrella's and made walk-ways for the kids to come down.
Dane had to finish Bray's pinewood derby car, so he took Kiele since she still had a cough and I took Mika with me. I met up with Amber and Sunny at Ko'olina. I forgot how beautiful it is out there. We swam in the pool and Sunny got us lunch. It was so relaxing, I just wanted to fall asleep.
That night was Bray's pinewood derby. Last year we came in dead last. Bray was so sad. We kept telling him it was all for fun but it made Dane feel bad he didn't try harder. This year he researched and really put time into the car. He made sure Bray helped. Well...he took first place. He was so excited!
Way to go Bray
We were all there to support!
Aunty Tiffy and Uncle Mike bought ice cream for everyone to celebrate
Since Bray won he was suppose to go to Makahiki on Saturday. He wanted to go so bad but we had too much going on. They had to send the second and third place instead. On Thursday we drove out to Lanikai to meet up with Holly and Ty. They hiked Olomana and so we couldn't stay very long. It was a beautiful day. We gave them all our body boarding stuff.
We were able to watch Mika perform in her class that day. I don't think she does an end of the year performance for this one.
Friday morning we drove out to Makapu'u to do the hike with the Hopkins. Noelle and Daniel joined us. Love Mika and Daniel holding hands in this picture.
Daniel and Mika were holding hands and hiking
After the hike we took them to shimazu for some shave ice. They loved it! Holly said she didn't know it tasted like dessert.
We didn't have much time before the kids were out of school, so we drove them up to round top to check out the view.
They went back to hanauma bay and we went to pack up our stuff to hang at Ko'olina. We bought food on the way and got stuck in traffic. It was so hot when we got there. Love Ko'olina.
We (mostly buddy:) was hungry so we moved to the hotel pool. We brought out the food and ate. My cousin Lacey was working and gave all the kids smoothies. The kids loved the pool and the hot tub. They also loved the slide.
Amber guys and Tauna guys came. I think we left the pool around 8:30 pm. By then it was really dark. We went back up to the room and bathed the kids. We let them watch a movie in the room and we snacked and talked story. It was so fun. I hope Sunny them move here...
Lexi and Bray crashed
The rest of them were hyper!
We were pretty tired. We didn't get home until late. It was so fun though.
Saturday morning we were up and out the door early. Bray had his scrimmage and the coach said to not bother coming if you were late. We dropped Bray off for the team warm-up and then drove to Mika's dance recital at Hale Nani. She takes two dance classes and this is the one she does out of the garage. It was cheap and Mika loved it. Her teacher was really good with the girls. Their performance was at an old folks home and it didn't faze the kids at all that the majority of their audience was in wheelchairs and did not cheer for them. It was fun.
Aunty Tiffy, Uncle Mike, Grammie, Papa, and Kili came to watch

After Mika's dance recital we went back to Bray's baseball game. They were having a scrimmage with lanakila. They won! Bray tried pitching for the first time too. He did pretty good.
We rushed home after Bray's long game. I'm going to have to get use to his games being longer than an hour. We packed our beach stuff, got Bray ready for his birthday party, and put the longboard on the car. We dropped Bray off late to Jon's party. They had a nice big slip and slide party. We drove to Holly and Ty's hotel. Dane gave them surf lessons. I played with the girls on the beach.
They did well! We went back to their hotel to jump in their pool and jacuzzi. Dane went to pick up Bray. We had to take the board up to their room. Holly took a picture.
We met Dane and Bray at Leonards so they could sample Malasadas. They loved it. They also gave our kids a gift. We had told them that Mika wanted the penny board from the swap meet and they bought them one. It was so nice of them! The kids were so happy.
We decided it was a good idea to eat some real food. They treated us to Genki sushi. Dane was fighting them to pay and he lost.
It was such a long and exhausting day for the kids. Three of them fell asleep at dinner.
Another late night. Sunday morning they met at the Tab for church.
Mika got her present from Uncle Jo and Aunty Amanda. She LOVES her Minnie Mouse ears. She wore them all day and wouldn't take them off for church. She looked cute.
Mika's face kills me in this picture. I don't know why she was so grumpy. Poor Kiele and her hair. Ani and her red boots make me laugh too. This picture just shows all their different personalities. I love it.
After church we met up with Holly and Ty one last time. They wanted to eat shave ice. It's kind of bad living here when people are visiting. It's almost like we are on vacation too. Oh well. They loved that place too.
Holly and Ty were so great with the kids. They loved them. They also spoiled us. They gave us this hula girl to put on our dashboard. Dane kept teasing them about looking like tourists and they said they saw this on the car on Hawaii 5-0 and said we needed one to look local. Thinking it was a gag gift, we took it and found out later that they had put in a gift card to a sushi place. Sneaky. We put the hula girl on our dashboard for them.
Our car is so ghetto and breaking down. We use those straws to change the vents. Those knobs broke off long time ago and didn't really bother us until we started living here. We need to direct the air!
One last picture of Kiele at our park day for tutu and me. My baby is growing up. Still mini but so much personality.
