14th Ward Camp

Our ward camp out was on August 14th.  We had a big pot luck Friday evening, then we started a campfire and the real fun began :)

S'MORES.

Kali was so sweet and made this S'MORE for me.

The men got to participate in a Hukilau on Hukilau Beach.

Crystal and Kat danced the Hukilau while the men performed the Hukilau on Hukilau Beach :)

They caught 37 fish and almost a shark :0

Joe let the keiki help pull the fish out of the net.

Kava and Mana

This is us hanging out around the campfire at 3am.

Here is Kali and Brylie at 3 am.  They crashed at midnight.

GOOD MORNING!!!

8 AM BREAKFAST TIME!

The girls love to camp.

A few memories from the camp out.  

Lili being so excited about the outhouse, you could flush the toilet and there was not anything else in their like make-up bags or other tempting things for her to get into :)

Kali sitting and staring at the campfire, just zoning out.

Running through knee high water to watch the men perform the Hukilau.

See you there!

thanks for the reminder

This post is pulled straight from Angie's blog.

All pictures are taken by the amazing Angie and excerpts from her post about my kiddos.

Something I failed to remember to post about was Krew's crush.  

It really is so cute the way he gets all shy around her :)

Angie's post:

Does eveyone know that Erika has a boyfriend? well I guess the secret is out.

He's only got eyes for her! and I love the way his face lights up when he sees her! He comes from an AWESOME family, he's got Blonde hair, blue eyes, amazing upperbody strength, and is VERY TALL (for his age)

he also loves peek-a-boo, climbing, giving people mini heart-attacks by hanging off the apparatus at the park, loves animals, knows what they all say, and Loves to flirt with Erika! (actually)

( I have to add:  Can you blame him, she is a cutie :)

Still using Angie's pictures from the same post but adding my own comments below.

don't get confused here :)

When Krew is not crushing on older women this is his girl.

Jocelyn

Krew gets so excited when ever he sees her.

Than he smothers her with hugs and kisses.

We are planning for an arranged marriage, but for now we just want them to be best friends :)

Tyken and Krew

Something Angie posted about Kali was how she is a bundle of energy.

It is not uncommon for Kali to go out side after a nap and run laps on the side walk between D and E buildings.

She does not like to get messy or dirty.

Thanks Ang. for these little reminders of things my kids do and for the fabulous pictures.

Waimea Falls Hike

This hike is a walk through beautiful botanical gardens.

Nice relaxing paved walk to a waterfall.

We stopped and learned what some of the plants were called.

We saw some roaming peacocks.

As far as the food is concerned.

Yes on the Mango and passion fruit shave ice.

No to the cotton candy flavor.

Yes to the Taro Burger.

No to the acai bowl, drive 1/4 mile up the road and enjoy three times more from Kava Roots.

BTW, Kava Roots is the ONLY place I am aware of on the island that is worth getting an acai bowl from.  

And it is a must try!!!
