It was a mellow 4th of July this year, like many muted celebrations we've had in the past few months. But the kids still enjoyed some fireworks and sparklers in the driveway with no major injuries. Woohoo!
Eve was running around in her underwear most of the afternoon until we mandated clothing during fireworks. Ha ha!
Poppy appropriately chose her 4th of July bathing suit from last year at the beginning of the day
It's still summer for the kids so the biggies are going between the grandparents each week and the twins are at preschool. Thank goodness Keikiland is open! Next week the biggies will start a 3 week summer camp at Imiloa Astronomy Center and that will take them to the start of school on August 4th. We're still waiting to see what that's going to look like.
Prior to the 4th we've been trying to find other activities we can do around town that don't involve large crowds and keeps us active. We were super excited the national park opened though only limited trails were available at first.
Chan keeps losing teeth left and right. And the ones coming in are HUGE! His orthodontist recommends pulling 4 baby teeth to make way for the chompers. And then he'll still need to have 4 adult teeth pulled. Yowzers!
A trip up to Mauna Kea park
We got COVID cuts at home one day! Poppy has lots of whispy hair like her momma and our hairstylist said we needed to trim them or they wouldn't grow out as well. So now Poppy has a thin layer of bangs which is a first for any of the girls.
Once the National Park opened up completely we did the Kilauea Iki crater hike, a little over 4 miles. The kids did amazing and thankfully had each other to keep them going.
It was a beautiful clear day and we had it mostly to ourselves!
Happy Father's Day Allen! We usually go to this smoothie shop and take a picture in this configuration every Father's Day but it's closed for COVID so we had to make do at Nana's house instead.
Chan likes to wake early and wait for mommy when she's out running in the morning
These two rascals. What would they do without the other?
Esme has also been losing teeth a lot lately. She's started on the molars recently.
Chan playing with his favorite veggie
We made a trip out to Mauna Kea Beach and it was so amazing! We haven't been in awhile and so the kids had a ton of fun.
They love getting buried in the sand for some reason
And then Chan likes to bust out of his Chan-cano (like volcano)
Chan is living his dream of going fishing. Thanks Uncle Judd!!!
And the twins discovered some of Esme's old books. Usually it's just Eve who gets lost in books but somehow these ones drew Poppy in too.
