This week I found out the name of the dude who was " ambassador of surfing" back when they had the wooden boards, his name was Duke Kahanamoku who was also a famous swimmer. At the library there is a poster of him and a huge board that was wood. Also this week the waves have been nice and big but there still a bit bumpy and unpredictable.
Like you or I, the Hawaiian Isles have nick names and some of them of them are kind of funny like the Pineapple Isle, which is Lanai. Kahoolawe "the Target Isle" is called that cause the military owns it. Niihau "the forbidden isle" is called that cause it's privetley owned so no one can go on it exept for the people who own it and those invited to the island. Kawaii is called "the Garden Isle" cause of its gardens or its just pretty cause of the rocks cause its the one of the oldest islands on the chain. Molokai is "the Friendly Isle", Oahu is "the Gathering Place" and Maui is "the Valley Isle". 
In the past week Mia and Kayley have floored the 2 back bedrooms and the master so the kids are moving back there soon but we'll be a bit squeezed but we will fit. Daddy and I installed 2 toilets, a vanity and I've also been sanding a pice if koa wood for our half wall and our breakfast bar. Zander has been doing electrical and some other stuff I don't know about and mum has been playing with paint and caulking (no bondo). This last week was the last week of swim and this last Friday we had a potluck and then swam and played games.
Next week I hope to go surfing for more than 2 hours every day and also to finish the house so we can party when Mia's friends come over, because we only have the kitchen to fix, flooring and the bathroom that we haven't finished! Hope you're having an awesome summer!
