4th of July Celebrations

 Yearly tradition of making fire cracker (Tie Dye) shirts.
 Followed by an awesome water fight with Robinson Family.







 Dinner and fun at Chiptole.

 Decorating bikes for the bike parade.



 Eating donuts before the parade starts.


 Another yearly tradition is eating Mauna Snoa shaved ice after the parade.




 Falling asleep with his homemade mask.

We had such a fun night celebrating the 4th with friends at a park.  We ate good food and just had a fun time visiting while all of the kiddos played.  I am sure grateful for good friends!  I miss spending holiday's with family - - so I am grateful for good friendships that are family away from home.

 When you can't do fireworks on the 4th of July due to a fire ban . . . you make your own "spray fireworks" with a shaken up can of soda.  Ha!

My parents are here right now and then Christina's mother and sister will be coming next week. We feel blessed to always have their support. Here are some pictures from the last couple of days. Here is a very proud grandpa spending time with his little grand daughter. He does such a good job with her and it is neat to see how proud he is. Also, here is one of the funniest little videos. So far, her eyes have been very perceptive, but here, I think she got a little overwhelmed. I think her hands mess with her eyes. We have to keep them covered cause she always is scratching her face. But the video just makes us laugh. She is such a cute little girl!!! As you can see, we are very pro...
