Back to the Grind...
Now that Finley is in the three year old class at school, she has homework. She loves doing the homework that her teachers send her home with. This week she was working on writing the letter A and identifying things that begin with A. She did a great job!

Our First Helicopter Ride
If you ever get to the Big Island of Hawaii, I highly recommend taking a helicopter tour. It was the highlight of our trip. The best part was how wonderful the staff was with Finley, she was at ease the entire trip, even when our pilot was getting a little crazy with the copter!

Waves!
Sorry for the water smudge, Clifton had the camera in the water snorkeling just prior to taking the video.

Beach Time
The first couple days in Hawaii, Finley played on the beach by our hotel. We built sandcastles and did some kayaking. Finley was much more brave in the sand here than she was in Nevis last year. Yesterday we visited the beach at Kikaua Point. Clifton did some snorkeling while Finley and I played in the water and the sand. The best thing about beaches in Hawaii is that they are all public. Even in the fanciest of resorts, there is still access to the beach. This means you aren't tied to your hotel and you can really explore. I think we found our perfect beach today at Mauna Kea, pictures to come of that soon. Finley has really been enjoying the ocean this trip. She has also really loved swimming in the pool (without noodles!) She is finally ready to show off her swimming skills, it has been amazing to watch her gain the confidence to swim.

Return to Dance
There is a fantastic dance program at Finley's school. So we finally abandoned Kings (yay!) and now Finley gets to dance with her friends from school. There are 12 girls in her class with three teachers, which is just amazing. Finley has had two classes so far and she is loving it (more than swim and gymnastics!) She especially loves tap. All the little girls are to wear their hair in buns, which I am still trying to master with her crying and her fine hair. Finley didn't want to wear her new skirt for the first class, but after she saw that most little girls we wearing skirts, she asked to wear hers for the second class.
