Happy Easter!



We hope that everyone had a great Easter cause we sure did. Na'ulei woke up to find that the Easter bunny left her a basket full of goodies. She got some rice cereal and crackers, spoons and bibs, sippy cup, toy, beach floaty, and a book of signs (ASL).
















But, we think that she found the cellophane to be more interesting than anything found inside. It crackels when you touch it and it's strange that you can see through it. What baby wouldn't love cellophane :).















Then we went to church where Na'u got to wear her pretty Easter dress (FYI-this little dress is 12 month size.) Thank you Grandma Sandy.









We also got to take a family picture. Sunday's are the one time during the week where we are all guaranteed to be dressed up.





This was the first time that Lohi spent Easter with Cameron's family. Since Easter was during spring break, Lohi's family came over from Moloka'i. We all had such a fun time.
The Ing's and Tuitele's have a big Easter egg hunt. Most everyone, young and old, gets to participate. This is how it goes. Each person gets assigned an egg (plastic) color which includes solid colors, kalakoa (mismatched colored eggs like green top matched with pink bottom) ones, pastels, or patterned eggs. You're only allowed to find your color. Each person has 10 eggs to find one of which is big. Inside you're guaranteed a dollar. Once each of your eggs are found, you can look for the bonus eggs- four are big yellow eggs with red stripes, one metal, and of course, the wonderful golden egg. Each bonus egg includes money but are the hardest to find.
There we all were (21 people) running around the yard looking for these eggs, sweating, and having a fun time. We are glad to report that both Cameron and I found a big, yellow, striped egg. My little brother Ka'ohu found the golden egg. It felt like we were all kids again. I would have posted a picture of this wondrous event but it was so fun, no one had a camera handy. We were too busy. Can't wait til next year.

day at the beach


While on Moloka'i, Na'ulei went to the beach for the first time. We went to our favorite beach, make (mah-keh) horse. Half of the beach is nice and sandy while the other half is rocky. When the waves wash up against the rocks, little pools are made. Since it was a really nice day, the sun hit those little pools and made the water warm. Na'u has always loved her baths so it was no surprise that she loved the beach. We had her in the cutest little bikini ever (compliments of Aunty Ava). We're looking forward to many more beach going days.







We stayed in the water and sun just long enough to take pictures. No babies were sun damaged during this footage.
