We were all dressed in our Hawaiian best! Aunt Rachael got me a new dress special for the luau. It had pretty flowers and tiny hula girls on it. I was so pretty. 
There was a hula hooping contest. When it got down to the final two it was just my Mommy and Daddy. In the end Daddy won. Who knew he was so good at hula hooping!
Aunt Rachael had these really silly big sunglasses. Me and Grampa Steve decided to try them out. They block the sun alright... for almost my whole body!!
My Aunt Rachael was throwing a big luau for my Grampa Steve for his birthday. Mommy and I went to help her finish up a few things so everything would be ready. 
There were a lot of little plates that needed cleaning. Mommy washed them and I rinsed them and stacked them so they would dry. Mommy tried to tell me that wasn't a very effective way to get them to air dry... she has her methods... I have mine!
It was a lot of fun helping with the dishes. Espically these! There were little surf board plates, filp flop plates, and shirt plates. They were all really colorful and it made it more fun to rinse them.
So, my Aunt Rachael has everyone in the family doing this new thing called Chore Wars. It's fun! You can go on and claim your normal household chores and earn points and neat stuff. We are part of a group that has everyone in the family in it so we can see what everyone else is doing (or not doing) and compete against eachother to see who is doing the most chores.
My Gramma suggested to my mom that she make a character for me so that the chores that I do can be kept track of too. Since I don't do as much as anyone else my mom keeps giving me extra stuff to do so I can earn some points. She had me clean all the yucky spots off the floor and....
All the yucky spots off the cabinets, stove, dishwaser, and fridge! They look much better now!
It's hard work!
Once I had made a ship and gotten us pirate hats it was on with the fun. We sailed the seven seas searching for treasure! Here Daddy is saving me from having to walk the plank. 
A hook instead of a hand is very important when you are a pirate. And pirates say ARGG! a lot. I'm showing Daddy how to make a good hook hand.
Aunt Rachael and Uncle Dave invited me, my mommy and my daddy to go on a picnic hike. Here is me, Mommy, and Aunt Rachael finishing up our picnic lunch while Daddy and Uncle Dave explored the side of the mountain a little.
We took a little hike after our lunch. I was the expedition leader! At some point Uncle Dave snuck ahead of me and hid in the trees on the side of the trail. When I went by he said "scoobity doobity doo" and scared me so bad! I screamed like a girl.
We went all the way up the trail only to have to turn around and go back the way we came.
