It began with a graduation ceremony. For some reason, nobody is satisfied with just graduating from high school or college anymore. We must have graduation ceremonies every time we finish pretty much anything, including preschool...
Of course, when it's our little Nalani, then it's okay to have a graduation ceremony because she's do darn cute...
Of course, that was just the beginning.
The Lied Discovery Children's Museum was holding a donor's event, which meant that it was closed to the general public - so guess who's kids acted like they owned the place.
Naturally, David found an exhibit in which he could make something and he brought along a couple of his siblings...
Then Bretty, Kekoa and Nalani wanted to go into this big telephone booth like thing. By the way, with all the mobile phones in the world, are there even telephone booths anymore? Where would Clark Kent change his clothes. Gotham is doomed. Oh wait, that's Batman's city, anyway...
That big telephone booth thingy above is a wind tunnel. You climb in and there is a wind gauge so you can measure just how fast the air is swirling around you. During our few minutes inside, we experience hurricane force winds of more than 100 mph.
As you can tell from the picture above, Bretty and Kekoa loved it. I held Nalani in my arms and we both closed our eyes to ride out the storm!
Among the many things to do, perhaps our kids most enjoyed putting on a puppet show for us...
Of course, with our kids, the puppet shows get a bit strange...
In case you can't tell, Nalani is controlling the white lamb in the picture above. Bretty and David and are the wolves.
And yes, the wolves are eating the innocent little lamb.
Ya gotta love our boys.
Then there was a little birthday party we had for Kekoa and some of his friends...
'cause a birthday party last weekend with just the family wasn't enough for Kekoa!
Party games have taken on a whole new dimension in this age of technology. Playing tennis on the Wii...
It's a heck of a long way from pinning the tail on the donkey.
Then, just 'cause it would be wrong for the day to be over, Nalani and Malia packed up with their mommy and headed off to a birthday party of their own...
Of course, this meant that our little girls had to get ready for the party. However, they continually insist on using my brush. My hair is very, very thick, so it is extremely difficult to find a brush with hard enough bristles. I finally found a new one at a beauty supply shop which thankfully comes with its own message to my kids...
Ah, the end of a very busy Friday and Saturday...
And we still have Sunday to go!
