Happy Birthday Kai and Malia!

Man am I getting old! My oldest son Kai just turned 20 and my youngest daughter Malia just turned 13. Growning up my son Kai played soccer, baseball, raced BMX, rode dirtbike, and skateboarded. I tried to get him into surfing when he was young but he just didn't like the water at all. It seemed at the time that he was going to pursue baseball because that's what he stuck to the longest. I think about 19 year old Bryce Harper (Washington Nationals) and 20 year old Mike Trout (Anaheim Angels) 2 rookie All Stars when I think about Kai being 20. Kai was playing ball at the same time as them but decided to take a different route. Being that he's a local kid, Kai is doing exactly what I was doing at his age and spending the majority of his time in the water surfing. Dawn patrol, lunch patrol, and evening sesh. Surf, surf, and more surf. I must say though on this particular day of his and Malia's birthday bbq that I watched him surf and he's getting pretty good. Not as good as I was back in the day (hahaha) but almost! I haven't seen him get barelled yet! As for my daughter Malia she's growing up faster than fast. Her passion right now is in dancing. She's all into the hip hop dance thing. Something I was into when I was 13 way back in the early 80's. It's pretty funny to think that I use to pop and lock and shock and do the worm and the wave at Wahiawa Intermediate! However judging by Malia's performance a week ago she's going to be better than I ever was. Being that she's pretty shy for the most part it seems like that all goes away when she's dancing. It's crazy to see both my kids interested in the things I was at their age. If this keeps up both of them will be doing the same thing I'm doing now and that's bbq-ing with their kids and their friends at Magic Island in 20 years!
