On Saturday, Sept. 22 Journee and I went to the annual Windward Ho‘olaule‘a (Homegrown Celebration). The festival featured local entertainment, ‘ono (good) food, unique island crafts, keiki games, a silent auction and high-tech Imaginarium. The bouncey houses were the same as the ones at the Benji fair but Journee didn’t mind.
There was a booth set up for painting fish. It’s actually a form of art some people do here with real fish. But, it is really difficult (even on the rubber fish we used). First, you pick your fish (Journee picked the seastar and I picked a regular fish). Then you pick your paint colors (by the time we used it you were lucky to get any color other than black). Next, you paint your fish and then place the paper over it and hold it and press on the outside areas. Then you let it dry.
Both picture are hanging on Journee’s door. We like them and will eventually frame them.
See Tamara, we’re aspiring artists too. :-)

and great ones...I might add...
I forgot to say I loved the pink flower in Journee's hair..... Beautiful.
Good job taking her to all that fun stuff. Looks like you had lots of fun also.
we had lots of fun at the hoolaulea. wish i would have gotten pics of the hula dancers. it was such a beautiful day and the music is so lovely. only bad thing is that i was so tired from the benji fair the day prior.
and, journee purchased that flower for her hair at the hoolaulea. you can buy all different kinds here and it's popular to wear them over your ear but the barrettes like that for little girls.
flower over the right ear means your available and over the left ear means your taken.
