Laie

We are currently in Laie, Hawaii, visiting Adam, Kasey, and Adyson, our beautiful little granddaughter. Adam is attending BYU-Hawaii and Kasey is working there. Ady is a blonde, blue-eyed "local" girl; her legs are really tan. They moved here the first of January and this is the first time we have seen them since then. Ady has doubled her age in that time!

We got in the night before the annual Laie Days parade. This really brought back memories because our kids rode and sang in this parade when we lived here. We also got to sit with the Langis (our old neighbors) to watch the parade.

Parades here are a bit different than many of you have seen before.

The kids's favorite part is, of course, when candy is thrown out to them. Ady would pick up the candy a piece at a time, but then she realized that she really didn't have to do anything to get it -- other kids would bring her some when they got theirs or the people throwing it would just walk over and give it to her! She's definitely cute and catered to! Grampa fed her Smarties one at a time (her daddy claimed her Butterfinger).
