If you invite them, they will come!

Steve and Katie at the Laie Visitors' Center.



 This statue is of Hamana Kalili, who lost the three middle fingers of his right hand while working at the Kahuku Sugar Mill. Because of the accident, he was moved to guard the sugar train, and used his hand to signal "all clear". This wave evolved into the shaka as the children and residents mimicked him.



Elder Cameron mimicking his Ukulele buddy.


Our children mimicking our Christmas card.




Beautiful, Bougainvillea.


At, Seven Brothers, eating macadamia/coconut crusted shrimp. Mmmm. Katie has an enormous brother burger. They're tasty, too.


The turtle whisperer, at Secret Turtle Beach.

We love our kids.

Deep Sea Fishing Excursion

Very early, one Saturday morning, (5:30 am early) we were unexpectedly woken up by a neighbor, Craig, who came through our door and told Elder Cameron to "get up, get dressed, we have lunch ready, you're going fishing, meet you in front in five minutes"!


Fishing crew. The sun wasn't even up, yet!
Nephew, Brother-in-law, nephew, Elder Cameron
(Craig taking the picture.)


They sailed eleven miles out. Beautiful.


Fish On!  Reeling in the fish.

Elder Cameron's got it in the boat.

Trolling.

Craig's nephew caught a Marlin. 

Reeling in # 2.

Skipjack Tuna (Aku) for dinner. It was delicious!

Craig, his nephew, brother-in-law, nephew, and Elder Cameron with their catch of the day!
