Kaila sitting in front of the kiddie pool, getting excited about the possibility of playing in there.
Kaila taking a stroll across the farm to see what the big kids are doing.
The cousins in the bigger pool.
Getting everything decorated and set-up.
We were trying not to let the kids get in the water until the guests arrived. But we finally gave in and let them play. Here, playing with Rowena.
The Polynesian Pinata.
Mom and Lopaka hanging the birthday banner......
........as Kaila looks on in approval.......with her ice cube.
Kaila en route across the farm from the kiddie pool to the big pool.
Waiting for the guests to arrive.
Kaila playing in the water in the cardboard box.
Kaila, on the outside looking in.........
.............so she runs back across the farm to the kiddie pool.
The guest table.
Goodie-bags for the guests.
And souvenir pictures for the guests, along with a chance to write Kaila a birthday message.
Kaila finally gets into the big kids pool with Rowena, La'a, and Papa.
She sees Mommy and Teresa setting up the slip-&-slide, so she wants out (meanwhile, Uncle John is getting squirted in the face with water by Karsen).
Playing on the slip-&-slide.
But she was more amazed by the fountain at the end of the slide.
Getting a juice break with Uncle Lopaka.
Her Chantilly cake.
Her guava cake.
Anuhea Pratt
We had several games set up for the kids. The first one was a limbo contest. Rowena limbos under the bar.

Kaila thought she'd give it a try.

Lau-lau!

Rob, Raylenne, Ikaika, Nohi, and Anuhea Pratt (with baby Noi, whom Raylenne baby-sits).
It would be an understatement to say that Kaila had fun. She had SO much fun playing with all the kids. She was running all over the place, talking, yelling, and playing. You could tell she was so tired, but she didn't want to stop; she wanted to keep up with the big kids. THANK YOU to all our family and friends who came to celebrate with us. Thank you to those who helped get this luau set-up. We truly love you all and will miss you lots!
