Here's a Spectacle

...even if it is a few days late!

My intention was to post an image from my daughter's annual Ho'Ike (a fund-raising Luau for her Hula group) because the show was indeed a spectacle in the best possible way!

Here's a shot of my daughter teaching her dad how do "move it move it" if you know what I mean. It was hilarious! Notice he's looking at her hips trying to figure out how in the heck????

Can you get over that costume?? I had to make most of it! Along with the others she wears. A labor of love (and sometimes loathing) but when she gets out there and does her Polynesian thing it makes it all worthwhile. I do the same crazy thing for Halloween. It's just one of those mom things I do that I enjoy (kind of). Anyway, I just wanted to squeeze in at least one of these 'spectacular' shots for My Best Shot Monday.

Can't wait to see what you've got.

So this is what it's like being up at 3:30AM. It's very dark. Off to the airport.

Here's my best shot:

Love the picture! I want to be in a hula group. My girls have a video about hula that they love.

I always wanted to learn how to hula...but this picture reminds me why I never did! I don't think my hips were meant to move like that....

My 4-year old teaches me to dance, sing and wink at a girl. He also teaches me how to pose for a portrait.

Please see his watercolor painting of me (http://somethingaboutparenting.typepad.com/) and my digital retouch of him (http://www.mikeleonen.com/).

I haven't had a chance to look at all my vacation pictures (just rolled home last night), but this sunrise was absolutely stunning!

This is great! I love the looks on both their faces.

Here's mine. My son ran me ragged all week long, so my BSM is him snoozing away.

What a fun activity (and picture!). I'm pretty sure they don't offer that here in the midwest. Good job on the costume, too. Here's my shot for the day:

I know I usually do baby pictures, but I really liked this one. And I had a rough week for getting pictures of the baby!

That looks like fun! My mother-in-law wants me to get my daughter into a Polynesian dance class. I'm not sure I could make costumes like that. Great job!
