9. Happy Fourth on the North


HAPPY 7th of JULY!!
At least, happy reminiscing the long weekend on another Monday.
I packed my beach bag and headed north this weekend to my good friend Marissa's house on the North Shore of O'ahu.
We celebrated her younger twin brothers' birthday along with with America's good ol' Inderpendiance.







I sure love freedom------>





Marissa, Nicole, Kelliann, and I took to the Morning Glories while the boys batted Spinning Flowers into the air with tennis rackets.


We got a little creative with the camera moves and fire lights. I mastered the art of spelling my name backwards for this shot. It took the entire night and two boxes of Morning Glories, but we all graduated from kindergarten light spelling after hours of sad attempts
.



















Marissa dazzled us with her fireworks dancing... it's like ribbon dancing, which is a respectable sport, but this is better.










Aunty Peggy--Marissa's mom-- asked the party to gather outside the tent for a group picture, family style. I was stoked to be fully accepted into this tight crew of ocean-loving-tree-hugging friends. They extended their aloha inter-island for this Maui girl and it was much appreciated.

My muscles ache from 3 days of straight surfing and cave splashing and rock jumping. I am continuously falling in love with the Aloha of the islands. We bundle it up like a big ball of string and then play a game of toss-toss across the islands, across the Pacific, creating lines of connect-the-dots between fellow island lovers.













HAhahahahahaHAHAHAAha--->










A kiss, a sigh, with love,

Amy
