Fun Things in Maui

       Last week we went to Black Rock.  Black Rock is a beach in Maui.  We did a lot of fun stuff.  I made a pillow out of sand.  Mommy buried me in the sand.  I went snorkeling with Daddy and we saw a lot of fish.  We saw a sea turtle and Lauipala and Lawiliwilinukunukuoioi and Humuhumunukunukuapoaa.  I liked the beach because the sand was soft. I also found a lava rock.

  
        One day, Alex, Siti and I made a lei at the hotel.  Alex and I made pink and purple lei.  I picked the pink flowers, myself.  The pink flowers are called plumeria flowers.

Plumeria flowers can also come in white.  They grow on trees and smell very good.  I made a pattern.  The pattern was purple, purple, purple, pink, pink.

        The pool at our hotel was fun.  There was a waterslide, two spraying turtles, sprinklers and a floating dolphin chained to the ground.  I liked to jump on the turtle and slide down the shell.   It was so much funner than in Phoenix.

Joseph's Birthday

         Joesph's Birthday was fun.  We did lots of things.  We ate a lot of food.  My favorite food was the strawberries.  We ate a lot of desserts, too.  My favorite dessert was red velvet cake.  A person dived down into the fish tank and put a sign up near our table.  What did the sign say?  Happy Birthday Joseph.

        My Grandmother and Grandfather came over to Hawaii three days ago.  I'm having so much fun with them.  I had a sleepover with them in their hotel all by myself, without my brothers.  I went swimming and shopping and to breakfast with them.  It was so much FUN!   We also went to the botanical garden and Pearl Harbor.

Playing the Wii

        Hi, my name is Nicki.  I am a loving person.  My family is, too.  Alex played the Wii yesterday.  He played Super Monkey ball.  I played the Wii, too.  I played a different game.  It's name is Harry Potter Wii game and Joseph wished that he got to play.

        One night I got a haircut, then we went to bed.  Daddy told me a story.  It was a Pigs on Motorcycle story.  It was about the zoo.  It was very funny!  I liked the part where the big bad wolf was in the zoo and he got into the crocodile cage and he jumped down and landed on a crocodile.  The crocodile's mouth opened and he jumped to the King crocodile screaming very loudly.  He didn't know it was the King crocodile.

Hau'oli La Hanau (Happy Birthday)

        I swam with a dolphin this week for my birthday.  I did a lot of stuff with a dolphin named Miki'oi.  I gave the dolphin a signal and it did Hula.  I rubbed her tummy and it felt soft.  I tickled the dolphin, too.  The dolphin kissed me.   Afterward, we went to the Humbolt Penguins which Daddy was interested in.

          The next day was my real birthday.  It was so much fun!  When I woke up, I watched a movie.  What movie?  Alice in Wonderland.  Then we went on a Shopping Spree. I got a lot of playing supplies.  Later, we made a cake.  The flavor was lemon.  We also had Jell-O.  The flavor was orange.  When it was dinner time we played the Wii.  We played Wipeout.  I had a great birthday!
