Christmas Eve

Maille's singing at the Governor's open house

Maille's big event was yesterday afternoon.... she was so proud to have her after-school singing group (The Little Orcas) perform four carols for the Gov's guests. She did great, and then we went in to meet the Governor, his wife, and the Lt. Governor. Finn was most pleased with the unlimited free cookies and hot cider...

Cool down time at Kuki'o beach, just north of Kona.

Finn displaying fresh dragon fruit! It was spectacular, and had a really delicate, sweet flavor with soft flesh and seeds.
