Our most helpful and accomodating computer expert, Walter, at Family Support services has just given me an intital tutorial on blogging. Being an early baby boomer, I guess I am on the cusp of those who can (or won't) get aboard with the current wave of information sharing. We discussed the best ways of information sharing about Na Kahumoku and he convinced me to try this. Soo... Here we go. I will begin by doing blogs about things that have happened in recent history of the program and try to work my way up to the present.

The picture above is of one of our earliest endeavors. I think it is one of my favorites because it emanates joy! The kids had just recieved a lesson on how to steer while paddling an outrigger and as they were coming in, it began to hail, which is a rather rare occurence in Hawaii. Most of the kids had never experienced it. As we ran back to the van the balls of hail began to increase in size and was starting to worry some one would be injured! The Hawaiian girl in the back knew what to do! She sighted a lava tube. We all ducked under and waited for the storm to pass.
