Little fishes

Soon after arriving here in Hawaii, Elise learned how to swim! Elijah can also swim shorter distances. They are such little fishes! It's great to have a pool in the backyard, especially when it's so humid outside. The kids went from being buoyed up like this:

To holding their breath under water, treading, getting more air and swimming quite far. These pictures were taken in Maui with an underwater camera my dad bought.
Elijah thinks he can do everything Elise does, which can be a little dangerous at times, but he's doing really good and is so independent.

Here are some of Elise's idols and new playmates - her second cousins, Keisha and Ka`anela.

Here's Aaron's lovely sister, hamming it up for the camera.

Sorry about this video, the shutter was stuck, so there is a very small window to see the kids do their tricks.
