Kauai December 2010 – With Jaya

Jaya spent the afternoon with us at Lydgate and we went to their house in the evening. It was Nikolaus day, so they were anxiously waiting…










Kauai December 2010 – Leilani’s Birthday

We went to Lydgate, and Andy played with Leilani and her friends while Sonja got to chat




Birthday ice cream at lapperts

Randy has models of the big island now

Birthday dinner at the Oasis. Leilani wanted more chocolate ice cream for dessert while Andy and I opted for lilikoi creme burlee and banana springrolls… in the end Leilani liked our dessert a lot better and I think ate most of mine.

Kauai December 2010 – Last Day

We started packing and organizing early

And then realized we had not taken pictures of our pet chickens. We had fed them every day, and Leilani named that one Spotty. Spotty came running when we called her, and to beg for food she sang softly. Really. Not quite like a singing bird, but for a chicken it sounded really very nice.

That, as you can guess, was Blackie

and Brownie

or maybe that was Brownie

Leilani wrote and drew a letter to Jaya. The letter had started on a tax form, in the tax office, and continued with lots of tears, when I’d talked to the pesky lady and ignored my precious child who needed help writing… When she didn’t get it she proceeded to throw a tantrum that made other people walk out of the tax office. Anyway, she finished the letter later, and I calmed down again (eventually)


Oahu December 2010

We flew to Oahu, met Francine and Clay.

Dinner at Legends












Oahu, 2nd Day

From Francine’s balcony there are nice Waikiki city views. I don’t let Leilani goes out there by herself because it seems I could fit in the wide gap between the balcony and the railing… Waikiki has a sad fame for that kind of accidents…

In the park below there are swans

Looking up to the condo

We went to Ala Moana Shopping Mall. My first time there. Spent almost $100, but not all in the Disney store :-)
