Happy Birthday August Babies......

Since there are too many people in my family born in August, we all thought lets just have one big party to celebrate every one's birthday and it was A LOT cheaper than taking 6 people out to dinner on each individual birthday. So we had a pot luck at the beach and I think everything went very well.

Okay so the August birthday's are:

Me, Gil (blue shirt & hat), mom (short lady in white hat), Cody (wrapped in white towel), Hailey (standing next to the cake squinting), Keoni (behind Hailey), and little baby Kai (still inside mommy's belly) who was born on 8-8-08!

We played games like this one where you had to catch a little rubber ball in a skinny net thingy.

We rented a shave ice machine and got to do it ourselves. The kids had more fun doing it so they made every one's shave ice toward the end. Even if you didn't want one, you got one anyway. We only had two flavors. Strawberry and vanilla, but we bought Li hing mui powder and condensed milk to top it off! Yuuuummmy!

We also rented a bouncer which the kids of course had a blast jumping in and even the adults enjoyed it as well. My dad very much enjoyed exercising in it and bouncing with the kids. Oh, Gil is behind the camera and I went jumping earlier. It was pretty much our family and a few friends. So it was okay for the adults to have their fun!

After all the activities and swimming at the beach everyone sang happy birthday!

And the kids got to open their presents!

At the end of the day everyone enjoyed themselves. The kids got good presents, our stomachs were stuffed to the rim, with plenty of leftovers for the next day, and we were tired out from the beach. But best of all............we saved money! Yay!
