Break

After about two years, due to unforeseen circumstances, we have decided to take a break from the girls' Polynesian dance lessons. We had one last performance that came up unexpectedly last week. They performed at a Fitness Fair at the Riverside Plaza this past weekend.

Unfortunately, it was a sad little event. Not a whole lot of people there. The people that were there, barely paid attention. Some could not pull their attention away from their phones for more than a second or two. It is not just me who noticed. The girls noticed while they were dancing. Not a lot of the girls made it out to dance either. 

Christian's mom did make it out to see our girls dance for the first time though, so that was pretty exciting. It is really one of the biggest reasons we agreed to do the performance. That and the fact that there would have been only one other little girl dancing for the keiki's otherwise.

After the performance, we carved pumpkins. Christian's mom brought a bunch for everyone to do. The girls had fun...although there was a bit more whining than we would have liked. In the end, they all turned out great. Unfortunately, it is still quite warm out and the pumpkins didn't last a week. So there will be no jack-o-lanterns left by Halloween.

Christian and I went to try out the other climbing gym in Riverside (since we now have membership, albeit temporarily). It is a lot farther, but it is also a lot bigger. So there are a lot more routes that everyone can try. We decided to take a break today and took the girls after school since it is a minimum day. We were there for many hours but the girls had a lot of fun and we got a lot of practice and exercise in.
