We still continue to go to White Plains every Monday for Family Surf Night. It is always fun to see a monk seal lounging on the beach.
Kristi and Jesse wanted to host an Easter event at their place for Kate and Jane. They made yummy circus foods like corn dogs, popcorn, and pretzels with cheese. They got to dye eggs and then hunted for over 100 eggs scattered around their large yard. I'm pretty sure we were missing about 6 eggs!
Easter Hunt at Kristi and Jesse's House.

Look at my beautiful succulent garden!
Howie always loves when the girls go searching around the house for Easter eggs!
Lots of good stuff.
A beautiful Easter Sunday at Duke Kahanmoku Beach Park.
Kristi and Jesse joined us...
...and so did Sami!

Spring Ukulele Concert at the Windward Mall.
Meanwhile, I flew all the way to Minnesota to travel with Jennifer to Philadelphia for the Atlantic City Half Marathon. It was so nice to hang out in cooler weather and see where she lives. Wish it could have been longer!
We met up with her mother, Fran, in Philadelphia and visited the Rocky Balboa statue before making the drive to New Jersey.
The Atlantic Ocean
Fran and Jennifer deciding which Slurpee they needed.
I hadn't really trained well for the run, but it really didn't seem too difficult. I loved running on the boardwalk and the weather was incredible!
Check me out in Jennifer's glasses!
1/2 Marathon Finishers!
Bryan also completed the Hapalua 1/2 Marathon in Honolulu during the same time. He also did a great job holding the fort down while I was gone. In the past, I've been a little worried; however, Kate and Jane are pretty self sufficient now.
Another cute creation by Kate.

My last day working at Minimally Invasion Surgery (MIS) Hawaii with my friends. It has been wonderful working with them and I will truly miss each one of them. The video below is a great representation of the impact I had on them.
Heading up to Pearl Ridge High School to drop Jane off at her Choir Concert.
Unfortunately, I didn't get to see the whole performance because Kate had a piano performance in Mililani the same time. Bryan was out of town, per usual, but was able to Uber from the airport to her piano performance just in time. This was a hard performance for Kate. She had the music perfectly memorized, but her nerves got the better of her that night. Her piano teacher commended on her pushing through to the end. Sometimes we mess up. Kate was able to take a breath, reset, and continue until the end.
I have found a lot of selfies and ASMR videos of this cute girl this month!
Kate looking cute and eating Kristi's passionfruit (lilikoi) whip.
Finished up my last Ukulele class. It has been so fun playing with this group. Cassidy was a great instructor. Pat was my partner in crime at the Ukulele performances twice a year. Diane and Henry were the cute couple that always wore matching shirts to class.
Rachel and her family came to visit at the end of the month. Although our house was partly packed up, the kitchen is a great place to feed lots of people, play video games, and relax on the couch.
At the top of Olomana (Three peaks). Bryan and I did this hike years ago, but it was a fun one to do again with Rachel, Jon, and Alynn.
