Every once in a while a good idea pops in my head and I actually follow through with it - today was one of those days. I was pulling flowers off my pansy plants and there was quite a pile. I thought, "Wow, those could be strung together to make leis". "Nah, that would take too much time...the flowers are wilty...the girls will think it's dumb" was my self-talking response. Nevertheless, I sat down and decided to go with it! Here's the materials:
And here are the very happy recepients (well, the 2 out of 3 girls I can show you right now):
I pulled out the slip 'n slide, mini blow-up pool and the sprinkler for the trampoline. I filled up the little plastic sink with water and told them to have at it...we were having a Hawaiian STAYcation! We will grill for dinner and I'm playing Hawaiian music on Pandora.com. Now I'm off to make smoothies for the tourists!
This guy doesn't seem to be as convinced...maybe he needs some flowers in his hair!
P.S. We are moving from foster care towards adoption for the 2 kids in our care...we hope to have it completed by the end of summer. Updates to follow and lots of pictures when we're through! :D

That's my kind of Hawaii-well finance-wise anyway. Good luck with the adoption, that's so exciting!
What fun! Hawaii isn't about the location as much as it is the spirit of the people. I think your family captures the Aloha spirit in the way you live and the way you celebrate summer! And I can say so with authority, since I am part Hawaiian!
