Complements of Aunty Uila for keeping up with all the action...
Thursday, July 4
Keao had to work at 4:30am so mom dropped her off. Everyone rearranged beds and tried to get a good sleep. Mom and Pi'i cooked and prepped food all morning while we all watched kids. Went to the 4th of July Parade in Kailua where we stayed next to the Church offering free shave ice, popcorn, toilet, a/c room and more. We then went to the Smith beach where we beached it, swam, ate, played, etc.
Tuesday, July 2
Mom took girls in to school. We all stayed home to work on ash's gifts. Kekai came early in the morning with the girls. Finished the double batch of laundry soap for everyone here.
In her gift, I made 2 hooded towels(orange with nemo & green with toy story), laundry soap, Kekai a family home evening assignment frame, mom a year round pass to the aquarium.
Had to borrow make keao go get the sewing machine from tutu because mom didn't know where the foot pedal was. Keao and Bronson made dinner and met us at the beach.
Ala Moana around 2:30 & swam. Mahi came to play with the kids with Jordan but he had to leave early. So Mahi built a huge sand pool for the kids.
Jason came to meet us after he finished work. He took off Wednesday, and since he already has Thursday Friday off, he could spend time with everyone.
Ate dinner a la Daniels family: meatloaf, broccoli and bacon salad, rice, leftover Mac salad, homemade bread from papa, Capri sun, green salad, and kit kat salad for dessert.
Ash came at 6pm to finish our family pictures. Mom wanted to do alpha wear for it so she got all the kids outfits. We wanted to do them at magic island but it was roped off, then at the point the kids got bit by red ants, so we ended up on the rocks right where we swim. They came out beautiful and can't wait til get them after edits:)
It was really fun being all together.
Packed up and went home in 4 cars. Moa went straight to sleep with mani and girls. Jason, Pi'i, and Bronson went to watch fast and furious while mom and us kids got to talk. It was nice and quite emotional but well worth it. We didn't get done til the guys got home at midnight.
Late night at 1am. Goin to b a rough morning.
***need to get ash's pictures***
Wednesday, July 3
Everyone very tired from late night. Pi'i and Bronson took girls in to school because they had to help set up the volleyball nets at his school.
Jason dropped Mahi off at the airport to go back to Vegas, and brought back cocoa puff from liliha bakery. Kids ate left over malasadas for breakfast.
Mom went to do her hair after she set-up the "new" water table in the front for mani, kawena, taniora, and nanea.
Moa and I took taniora, nanea, and mani to the Walmart for cash and treats for the kids, Costco for gas, and swap meet for shopping. I got them each a box of goldfish and ring pops. They did very well considering it was quite hot. Luckily I packed a lot of water and jus enough treats. We ended up buying carseat covers for the van(65), earrings for gifts(12), pineapple and mango(9), entrance fee(2), kids shirts(20). By the end the kids were ready, we were going to get some outfits but were in a rush and forgot.
Meanwhile, keao waited for mom to go get her check at the airport. Jason got his car checked at jiffy lube and did a run, then came back home to pick up Kekai.
Met everyone at chuck e cheese in pearl ridge for tons of tokens, pizza and salad. It was definitely entertaining watching chuck e dance. The kids had a blast and pooped themselves out.
Went home, Kekai had a traumatic experience with her car and no gas after mom and keao didn't fill I up. She had nanea, Hali'a, Moana and Mele with her listening to their chuck e cd.
At home, Moa took girls and Jason to pool to cool off, Daniels went to ko Olina, Kekai and her girls stayed home to sleep, and mom and Pi'i went shopping for Fourth of July in laie. Aunty Gwen changed plans and going to Waikiki. We are staying away from there from the traffic and CRowds.
My naked boy
I took mani to swim and tried to have a nap but kept getting woken up by him and milia. Met everyone back at the house and ate meat jun in the front parking lot, tailgate style. Broke down and started packin for tomorrow while, some went to food land for treats, others went to Walmart for an excursion, and rest stayed home to try and put kids to sleep. Full day indeed.
WEDNESDAY, JULY 3
Day 12-Friday, June 29
Mom took keao to work early in the morning and then came back to take girls to school while stayed home with mani.
Kekai and Jason had slept over the night before, so we stayed and packed up.
Met girls at the beach. Mom and Pi'i did BBQ.
Found out Moa's flight got delayed 5 hours so he stayed in the airport. Of course he didn't make Mahi take him to pick up food like I told him to so it made the wait even longer. They got a food voucher for $8 that he used at ruby Tuesday.
Jason took pics of the kids in the water with his camera.
Ate dinner around 5pm and went back in the water. Ash went to pick up her husband at work then came back to eat with us.
Dinner menu was a little overboard, but yummy. It was mom and Pi'i's turn, I guess. He volunteered, kind of. I just asked him for BBQ Teriburgers and hot dogs...that's it. On the actual menu was Teriburgers, red and regular hot dogs, chips, potato salad, char siu chicken, teriyaki beef, steak:), water and rice. Ended up getting a pan of rice from a military group that was doing a memorial run for fallen soldiers. They were really nice.
Place was packed for the fireworks.
Me and Kekai ran with mani, hanalei, and nanea for 1 lap and dropped off babies for our own mini-laps. I finished right when the fireworks started and Kekai came in just when they ended. It was lovely!
Packed up quickly to go pick up keao from work at the airport lounge.
Came home and the girls looked like this
Keao went to see here friends at their clothes swap/street garage sale.
Moa was boarding plane as we were leaving the beach. He ended up landing at 3:15am. I went to pick him up and came home to crash. We were both finally able to sleep well after having lonely beds for the last few weeks.

Met Pi'i and girls at Waikiki aquarium for lunch (sandwich rolls, Doritos, and left over desserts)
Mani love the fish
He didn't like the shark tank or going into the bubble where u feel like ur in it. He was soooo loud in there. And actually said "what da het!" In excitement. Wonder where he got that from...
Mom met us there. Then went to ala Moana. This is a pic I apparently took when I ran. Also ran into Aunty Lenny, Logan and his 2 boys, jadey, Gordy's wife and their 2 kids. Running felt a lot better than at the beginning o the week
Girls ended up playing with surf board and practicing standing up. Mani played in sand with Mele.
Waited for the fireworks that went off at 7:40-:45. Worth the wait and cold. It goes off every Friday night at the Hilton, so we turned around and watched from our camp out.
Packed up and went straight home. It was raining but love the freshness
