We got Keala this Strider bike for her birthday. It has no pedals so it teaches her how to balance herself. Our friends Michelle and Marley have had their strider bike for months now and Marley is a pro. We took a cruise on the bike path to the playground last week in between rainstorms and it was such a fun day. Keala did really well and toward the end of the day was coasting down the hills a bit. More practice and more trips to the bike paths and she'll be flying down the hills no doubt!

Swimming class has definitely built Keala's confindence in the water. The water wings help too. I'm so glad she wears them since it builds my confidence in her as well :) The waves are suppose to be very large this week so maybe not the place for her to swim but maybe we will get some awesome footage of surfers. Stay tuned.......

Merry Christmas Everyone! Keala got Buzz LightYear that she loves, and Kaipo got a drumset, that Keala loves! We had a nice morning opening presents and then spent the day at a beautiful beach Hanamanu. Kaipo came over Christmas night and jammed out on his drumset and put together his many legos that he received.

Keala was so excited to get the racetrack from Grandma and Grandpa Drake. The little cars really go fast and one drove off the track and down the stairs, breaking off the back tire. It's in the shop getting fixed as we speak so the race can continue! :)

We have been enjoying the beach still as much as possible. This was last weekend at Ho'okipa Beach
