last week kaleb attended kamehameha schools explorations program for kids of hawaiian ancestry going from 5th to 6th grade. every summer hundred of kids take part in this annual event. they stay on campus of 5 days and aren't allowed any contact from parents. everyday is filled with field trips and education and on friday night, the end of their stay they put on this huge show called a ho'ike.
as a non-hawaiian kid growing up in hawaii, the idea of participating in this sort of event didn't even enter my brainium. i sat there before the show started and was kinda tripped out.
anyway kaleb had choke fun and learned lots about his culture. whats fun/weird and i should've expected is that there were so many people we knew who's kids participated. this experience will last their lifetimes... just ask anyone whose ever gone and they'll tell you stories like they happened yesterday.
