Sunset at Waikiki Beach.
Grandpa Epi commented that we never have pictures of Maya smiling. So here is proof...Maya's first introduction to sand. Also note the way she is sitting, like a true Filipino.
This picture of Sahara chasing pigeons at Kaimana Beach park is reminiscent of my own childhood in Hawaii. Sahara slowly stalks the pigeon from behind then stumbles at full speed towards it with hands outstretched. You can probably guess the pigeon took off before Sahara could get her paws on it.
We visited with my childhood friend, Jen Perry. We have been friends for more than 25 years. She and her family invited us over for dinner. The food was so ono (pigeon English for good). Here's a picture of JP introducing Sahara to Sunny. I'm not sure if I have ever mentioned, but Sahara loves animals and gravitates to them every chance she gets.
We visited the Foster Botanical Gardens. Here yet another picture of Maya smiling. Feast your eyes out Grandpa !
Here's Dad and Maya (smiling) in front of some tropical Heliconia plants.
On our flight back we lucked out by getting the entire back row of the plane to ourselves. This gave us enough room to stretch out. Daddy also figured out a way to restrain our little monkey. He snugly cinched the seat belt around Sahara pinning her down for at least a few peaceful moments.
Here's precious Maya taking a nap on the airplane. Nothing is sweeter than seeing your baby peacefully sleep.
