Day: September 5, 2011
Or did I use that title already? I gave up trying to straighten out the blogmess, but at least I am catching up with posting…
I think Leilani took these photos, but they are cropped and worked on…
Leilani decided to sell her farm on craigslist (or at lest to let mommy do it), but she wanted $50 for it, by now I talked her down to 30… I guess I’ll try and see.
Very spontaneously Leilani and I decided to hike Nounou, before breakfast and without water. We did not make it to the top, but way past the rocks. We had lilikoi against the thirst, and had Andy pick us up at the trailhead
We went on a date and kayaked at the harbor
Leilani got to big for the carseat and is in a booster now (pink with flowers)
Just for comparison – April 2006, same seat, same person
I bought her a bike, but she still can’t ride it.
There is a beautiful Rainbow Shower Tree at the park
Leilani takes swimming lessons now and is getting pretty good
Friends at school
Leilani let Oliver have the camera, and he took photos of her:
Thursday Leilani went to the Fair with Laura, and when we picked her up we stayed a few minutes:
Friday I took the 2 girls again:
The crowds were unbelievable – I had never seen Hanalei that busy
Julian had talked us into participating just the previous night – without much of a plan we started:
When it looked a bit plain we started dribbling it with sand and water, we thought it looked really cool.
Many children stopped to tell us they thought we had made the best castle on the beach.
Finishing touches
Unfortunately most adults either thought it was creepy or overlooked it completely… To us it was beautiful.
Leilani built her own minicastle
I was very proud of the moat, and it can’t be seen on any other photo
The competition made great things too:
but many more and better photos of these are on this facebook page
Our friend Julian was one of the organizers
Eventually the crowds went home
