Da Keiki Blog

Just the first week…

We went on a bike ride on the newly opened strech of our bike path




And ended the ride with a little beach walk

Andy made a fruitopuss

A fungus

Andy and Leilani joined Luci and Oliva and their family on a boatride at Smiths

We saw Kanoe

And Eden


And Olivia

Leilani went drumming at a fire dancing show

And we grew and ate another pineapple. Which attracted a pretty cool moth.

I realized how old the blog-header photo was and decided t replace it.

That was then

And this is now. I am not entirely happy with it… I might change it again… or I might get used to it and decide to like it.

This is where the picture comes from

Sunsets



Anole

Sunrise

Kealia to Donkey Beach on the new bike





Potluck

The gutter garden is still beautiful

Smiths with Luci and Olivia



Just random cool eggs

Kapaa Water Park with Angel and Kanoe



Loosing my religion… at the Kapaa Library

On June 15th we went to the Kamehemeha Parade. The queens and princesses of the different islands:

And the Pa’u queen


Kauai is purple with Mokihana leis:



Niihau white, Kahelelani or momi (shell) leis

Oahu golden-yellow with Ilima leis

I think that’s Molokai, which is green and should have Kukui leis

Well that’s Leilani who wears her sunglasses however she wants. Deal with it :-)

And Maui in pink with the rose (lokelani) lei

Lanai orange with Kauna`oa or dodder leis

And while I think the hula girls are adorable I have a lot of trouble with the amount of Makeup they are wearing…

Probably Kahoolawe – should be grey with Hinahina or Native Heliotrope flower leis

Big Island – red with Ohia Lehua leis

King Kamehameha and his staff


Hula for the king


Queens and minions waiting to give presents and tributes

Leilani and Julia (in the way of the queens and minions)

Best hairstyle award goes to Maui

But I also like Kahoolawe a lot

Angel dancing in her halau

The king leaving

Horses were parked on their trailers in the heat while the rest of us celebrated

And Mikey, and that photo of course has nothing to do with the post, but shows our freshly done front yard and that Mikey is still cute
