The pow-wow

Going back in time for a minute...
Before we got to DC, we spent some time with our families. Kevin's brother graduated from law school, and so his whole family got to be in town at the same time! It also coincided with one of the cousins' birthdays, so we got to have a great family party together.
I forget how everything came together, but after an impromptu hula by Kevin's mom and a Hawaiian friend (while Uncle John played "Tiny Bubbles" on the ukulele and I stood by with a bubble machine), Mosiah and Bahii got out their hoops to do some Native American hoop dancing. They are half-Navajo, and they're taking a hoop dancing class. Mosiah was a bit shy with everyone watching, but Bahii loved the crowd. They both taught Penny to dance, and she was pretty proud of her butterfly and eagle hoop formations.
Here are some videos of our impromptu pow-wow:







And if you're like me and never watch videos online of people's kids, here are some pictures from the event:
Naomi had a blast with her hoop (singular).

Penny was very serious about learning to dance just like her cousins. Here she has mastered one of the butterfly formations.
