Another day, another party…
Another day, another party…
We started a silk painting for Leilani-Rose’s birthday gift
All papayas stared to get ripe at the same time. It’s definitely fall now, this year we had a short season. Papayas were late, now the avocados seem to start late too.
I made craft kits for birthday presents.
Sunday we went to the biggest GMO protest yet. Sadly the county deferred to make the decision again… like after every of the rallies before.
One of the TV stations here broadcasted this. between 0:50 and 0:54 you can see Leilani and her friends playing. Other than that the video is not that interesting, but thanks KHON for making at least the download easy. I’ll link to some other videos further down

This is the best one to see how large the crowd was, all people march by… we are in the back. Thanks Kevin Matsunaga
And Kauai Guided Tours took this one.
