School had just barely started for Lola and we left for Hawaii for a week. Since we were already into the 2nd week of school, we looked for learning opportunities and didn't have to search very far. There were all kinds of new birds & plants we had never seen before and learned a lot about the various cultures that make up these beautiful islands.

Above photos are examples of the different ginger plants and plumeria trees we saw.

Also, Lola and I right before taking hula dancing lessons! We learned how to tell a story using hula dancing and, by doing so, learned a lot about the culture in Hawaii.
