Are you kinakin?

Aloha! Our group has been on many adventures since we last updated you; and, frankly, they're working up a sweat! On Monday, the crew was planning to roll out of bed a tad later than expected, but we found out we have a rooster friend who likes to have false dawns. Yikes! After a hearty breakfast, we ventured to Kualoa Ranch, the site of many film and TV show sets. What better place for our kids. Check out this picture of the whole crew at the actual log that Dr. Grant, Tim, and Lexi hid behind in Jurassic Park!

We then went to Manoa Falls and filmed with Amy Swanson (Maria) and Cam Griffiths (John). Here's a picture of them emerging from the woods

Tuesday, we had much fun as we started the day at the Buddhist temple. Kevin and Mikey filmed their scenes while the rest of us wandered the estate. Here's some cool shots!

Afterward, some of us went to Kahana Bay for some beach time while others stayed to swim and run lines at the house. Then we all ventured to the Polynesian cultural center where Mariah and Cory were filmed playing the Tongan drums, but not before our own Jonathan Horn was called up to play with the performer. He really held his own! Take a look..

We wrapped up our visit with a traditional luau and Ha: The Breath of Life performance. Look at some of the luau!

Wondering what that word is in the post title? We learned that the word for being tired after eating is kinakin! Also, keki is the Hawaiian word for children. That's all for now! We'll give you an update soon on what we did Wednesday!
