Thanksgiving at Ka'ala and Meridian's Mud & Water Baptism

We spent the Thanksgiving holiday at Ka'ala Farm - whose beautiful lo'i sit at the base of Mount Ka'ala. It seemed appropriate to have Meridian Havana Ka'ala get her first dip in its wet earth. She was then washed up in the spring that flows from the mountain (below). Quite a day of thanks for her joyful parents.


We later enjoyed pounds of lau lau and pie. Yum!!

All Smiles!

Aloha (and Riding Waimanalo's Waves Part II)!

Election Day and Meridian's First Dip in the Pacific!

Hanging Out in the Yard

Barack the Vote!

We spent part of the afternoon making calls to Nevada for Obama. Everyone got their hands dirty.

Dad first gave Meridian a pep talk . . . showed her how it's done . . . and then put her to work!

Josh and Meridian - Terrorist Fist Jab

Dad and Meridian giving each other a pound. Seems apropo - it's all Obama, all the time at the Burkbro household.
