Having good fun

An Interview with Nicki:

What was your favorite thing to do in Hawaii? 
Go hiking on the muddy trail to a waterfall.  I liked it because I got to get muddy and take my shoes off in the car.

What will you miss the most about living here?
I'll miss watching hula dancers and miss watching people climb palm trees.


What do you like most about the beach? 
Playing, of course!  Come on! and boogie boarding.  We play sand castle wars.

Are you excited to have your own room when we return? 
Yes, very happy because I don't have to sleep with my mean brother, Joseph.

Will you miss being in an apartment?
Not really, but I will miss the balcony because you get a good view the mountain.

What was the coolest thing you have seen while in Hawaii? 
A person climbing up a palm tree.

What food will you miss the most from Hawaii?
Shave Ice

What have you learned in Hawaii? 
A few Hawaiian words like Mele Kalikimaka  (Merry Christmas) and mahalo nui loa (thank you very much),  picking flowers, hula, how to make a lei and ceramics.


What is your favorite Hawaiian flower? 
Plumeria because it has a good smell.


What are you most proud of? 
Drawing 100,000 pictures in 4 months.

What are you most looking forward to when we get back to Phoenix?
I want to see Siti and Jidu and Darla and Uncle Phil and Aunt Amery.

What do miss most about home? 
My family and playing with the red sofa pillows.

Are you excited to go back to school? 
Yes, because I can see my friends and teachers. I cannot see them here.

What's the first thing you think you'll do when we get back? 
Lie down on my bed because I think I will be tired.
