A Christmas Family Tradition

want to wish everybody in this world a merry christmas again. i hope you all had a great one. here in hawaii, christmas is a very important time to spend with family and friends. today was no exception. just relax, enjoy the ocean, the mountain, and the family.

when i got up this morning, i couldn’t believe how beautiful it was. the first “no cloud” day in a very long time. just pure blue sky and the freshest air ever. warm, and very inviting. i jump on the bike, did a little tour on a different mountain, find a nice trail, come back down to go surf before i go back up again in the afternoon. yeah, it’s that close!

took Hiyori-chan surfing this morning and the waves were super fun. so stoked to see another great smile on another great day. glad she’s already at the level to surf on her own. it’s called “determination.”

then while the girls took a nap, i jumped on the bike and headed up to the mountain again. today, i wanted to go higher and higher, deeper and deeper.

usually at this height, i’d be in the clouds already. but because it was such a beautiful day, it was so clear and cool.

it’s amazing what you will find in the jungle. seen a cool bamboo patch. now i know where to go to get my new fishing pole.

it was kind of muddy because of the recent rain, but still good enough to get deep.

panorama views. each and every mountain has a different trail, a different view, and a different way. it’s my interest to find every single way to each and every top. and i’m not stopping till i get there.

then came back home for our family tradition christmas dinner. so stoked to see my nephews and nieces all grown up. hawaiian food at a hawaiian christmas. silent night, holy night.
