What will we miss about Hawaii?

In no particular order...

1. sweet bread-Kekoa and I have been devouring this stuff, especially Kekoa. It is pretty much all he has been eating.

2. shave ice-we enjoyed it every chance we got, not every day like the last time we were here, but still quite often. Mmmmm, lychee and lilikoi with ice cream.

3. beach time in the mornings- Kekoa asked me the other day, "Mommy, I wish this beach was at our house." I agree.

4. pool time in the afternoons-We will all really miss jumping in the pool in the afternoons. Malia even put her feet in the water today! It was amazing watching Kekoa improve so much with all his swimming skills.

5. spam musubi-yes, I know, you are thinking...yuck, spam. But I have to say, don't knock it until you try it.

6. shoyu ahi poke

7. the perfect weather

8. morning runs along the beach and morning snorkles in the turquoise waters

9. papaya

10. having so much family time together

11. sweet smelling plumeria flowers

12. Watching Kekoa run, completely nudie, across the green grass, under the palm trees, giggling the entire time.

13. watching Malia stare up at the plumeria tree, when we are poolside, completely fascinated.

14. reading Mortimer, by Robert Muneush every night to my little monkey. We know it by heart now.
