game on.

as much as i love a relaxing weekend, i also love one that is spontaneous and full of healthy activities. this weekend, i:

• tried a new hike in aina haina valley where there were no breathtaking views from above. instead, beyond the shrubbery and beneath the tall trees, the ruins of kawauoha heiau where a human sacrifice once took place.
• played ping pong for the first time in years. it was a few friendly games, but inside i really wanted to win. i think a rematch is in order.
• taught mini-she and my nephew how to do the rubiks cube.
• learned and played four square with the kids. there were a few almost sprained fingers and broken nails.
  my nephew hates to lose and doesn't care if you are a girl, but little does he know this aunty can dish it right back. bring it!

the only (phone) picture i got at the beginning of the hike.

once you get past all this, it's nice and cool under

all the tall trees.
