MAHALO NUI HAWAI'I OHANA! ;3

Back from Hawai'i! 
Ready to post stuff, but first a little shout out to some of our uber
talented nieces and nephews on Oahu!
We had dinner at our good friend's and family's house, Eric and Marlene Keawe, and some of their Kids and Grandkids. Some of the Grandkids: Malie (11), Iosepa (10), Ziona (7) and Enosa Lyman (6) and their cousin Denahi Pool (2) had a little kanikapila jam session and blew our minds and stole our hearts!! 
The kind of aloha some people will only dream of. 
Some of the sweetest, most respectful, cultured, brightest, beautiful and
talented kids you will ever meet. 
Afterall..... their Great Grandma is Aunty Genoa Keawe. (Google her ;3)

I made this drawing of the kids after we left then thought I'd add a background and a couple "friends"....
(Sitka is their Pug, And the background is compliments of Sitka's friend's movie ;p)

OH! Congrats to Malie! Won Island Cooking Competition!! Chee-hoo!! :D
We love you guys!! Ahui hou!
