The Fiaui Family Reunion

This past week was super super fun! WE'RE IN HAWAII!!! ...and as if that weren't enough, the kids and I were able to take part in the FIRST EVER Fiaui family reunion. Our week started with a fantastic family home evening at my Uncle Fata's home, then continued with a day at the beach, followed by a day at the Polynesian Cultural Center, a family barbecue at my parent's home, and ended with a very special family meeting. I am extremely grateful to Ryan and my Mom for making it possible for us to participate in this wonderful family event. We had a lot of fun being together and making memories.

Above is my Dad and his brother and sister. On the left is my Uncle Fata, in the middle is my Aunty Manofo, and on the right is my Dad, Loia.
