ALOHA A HUI HOU, OHANA!!!

AS THE WEEK COMES TO AN END, I WAS A BIT SAD TO SEE MY RELATIVES DEPART BETHEL, ALASKA AS THEY EMBARK TOWARDS ANOTHER ADVENTURE IN ALASKA THROUGH AN "RV TOURING" FROM ANCHORAGE TO HOMER AND VALDEZ.  ALL OF YOU ARE IN MY PRAYERS FOR A SAFE TRIP ALL AROUND AND BACK HOME TO HAWAI'I NEI.

"MAHALO" & "ALOHA" TO ALL OF YOU WHO MADE THE TRIP TO BETHEL, ALASKA A MEMORABLE ONE.  PLEASE COME VISIT AS OFTEN AS YOU WANT AS I PLAN TO DO THE SAME WHEN I EVENTUALLY MOVE DOWN TO HAWAI'I SOON.

LOVE ALWAYS,

WAIPA & OHANA

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY EVERYONE!!!

ALOHA EVERYONE!!!

WE WOULD LIKE TO WISH ALL OF YOU A HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!

KAHEALANI WAS ABLE TO PARTICIPATE AND RIDE WITH ONE OF THE FIRE TRUCKS DURING THE ANNUAL 4TH OF JULY PARADE WITH THE BETHEL FIRE DEPARTMENT OF BETHEL, ALASKA.  KAHEALANI WAS NOTHING SHORT FROM BEING EXCITED THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE RIDE THROUGH PARADE, SHE WAS PASSING OUT CANDIES AND TOYS TO ALL THE SPECTATORS, SHE WAS BLOWING THE FIRE TRUCK HORNS AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, KAHEALANI WAS ABLE TO PICK OF THE FIRETRUCK MICROPHONE AND SAY, "HAPPY 4TH OF JULY EVERYBODY" AS MUCH AS SHE WANTED TO SO EVERYONE COULD HEAR HER.

"THANK YOU" BETHEL, ALASKA FIRE DEPARTMENT AND VOLUNTEERS, ESPECIALLY FRED WATSON & KA'IWA FREITAS FOR MAKING ALL OF THIS POSSIBLE FOR KAHEALANI.

I WILL ALWAYS CHERISH THIS DAY AS NOTHING CAN BEAT THE AWESOME FEELINGS OF WATCHING MY DAUGHTER PARTICIPATE IN AN ONE OF KIND EVENT.
