Hip Hop Show and Lei Redemption

When you're on an island with no family around, there's no shame in getting your kid a handful of leis from those who love him (even if they aren't there to present them). There's also no shame in crying to friends who, in turn, send their mom to your son's hip hop show armed with handmade leis to present. 

Friday night's graduation was a tough one for this mama in the lei department. Now I know that one flower lei from our family just isn't gonna cut it. 

Saturday's hip hop show was an incredible performance by our little man and also an incredible performance by mommy and daddy who saw some redemption after Friday. 

In true five year old form, Lance had already moved on past his sadness from the night before and wore these leis just long enough for us to snap a pic. It was totally worth it.
