saturday snapshot...

taken at disney world 4 years ago...

the girls were tired...

being silly, they decided to sit in one 

 one of the many abandoned strollers from families with little ones

who ended their day early.

good times...

aloha e komo mai...

hello and welcome...

(in the hawaiian language)

{an opportunity to share photos from the past}

one of our favorite vacation destinations is hawaii!!!

we'd visit with friends, boogie board, lay on the beach,  

eat lunch plates and have shave ice from matsumoto's shave ice!

this specific trip was taken at my cousins wedding in oahu...

 the girls were the flower girls...

the pictures below were taken in maui...

because hula was a big part of our lives back then and we belonged to a halau (hula group)

i thought it would be fun to do a photo shoot of the girls in traditional hula costumes whilst in maui.

wearing their pa u's (skirts)

adorned with lei's 

(lei's encircle necks and heads)

and kupe e's 

(kupe e's decorate wrists and ankles drawing attention to the 

delicate movements of hands)

i love those feet pics!

a hui hou!

( goodbye, until we meet again)

gazillions of photos that i take and it gives the photos

a chance to be seen.

i literally have almost 700 pictures that i took whilst on 

our trip last spring.

food is normally the focus whilst traveling...
