Video #1 - Noah's First Spring Dance
(He's the one in the middle)
The battery went dead so the footage
cuts off in a weird place -- sorry!

The Friday before Memorial Day Weekend, Noah's school put on their annual Spring Festival. Each grade performed some type of dance, even the preschoolers (yes, this elementary school has preschool).
It was a very hot and humid day and the air was filled with vog --that's volcanic smog -- courtesy of our neighbor Big Island. The festival started at 9:00, and by then Tom and I were already drenched in sweat. Nevertheless, the kids put on a great show.
All four kindergarten classes danced together to two Hawaiian songs. Now, I saw the kindergartners perform for their parents and friends at the winter party and so given what I'd seen then, I didn't expect much coordination from these kids. Wow, what a difference five months make! I have to say, I was amazed at how well Noah was able to remember all of his dance moves. Way to go, Noah!
He was so excited to show off his Aloha attire and to wear his first real lei. We declared it "Noah's Day". He got to leave school after the festival and we let him choose where we had lunch (Burger King). Then Tom and I took him to a movie. We were going to see Speed Racer, but the air conditioner was broken in that theater so at the last minute we chose Indiana Jones. He loved it (a lot more than his parents did) and it was a great way to cool off from the heat.

It was a great excuse to take a picture
of the beautiful scenery and capture
the vog on film.
