Tafa Crew

Now that Chris has had some experience in shooting, Kent took him to shoot clay pidgeons. Chris came home with a sore shoulder because of all the kick back (is that what it's called?) But, again Chris had fun and enjoyed his time outdoors...

Chris has never shot a gun before, so Kent thought that it would be fun for Chris to experience it. Chris had a good time, and now has a greater respect for guns. He even has mentioned about getting one....we'll have to see about that!

Last night we carved some pumpkins, the first for Chris. He didn't understand why people would go through all the cleaning and carving, but it was a good experience for him. Kilika of course wanted in on the action...so he just ate all the pumpkin seeds.

So, after our day in Mountain View we crossed over and went to Hayward to visit another set of friends. Chris went to do some electrical work for them, and they took us all over. We went to Alcatraz, which was an awesome experience. Kilika decided to be good until we hit the main part (the actual prision). He threw the hugest fit, and I tell you he was SOOOOOO lucky that we were in public. If we weren't, Chris would've had a field day with him...but it was a good experience and over all we enjoyed it.

I forgot to post our time at the Universal City Walk. Chris wasn't really interested on going into the park, so we just went and did the shopping part. Kilika loved it...he got away and decided to go running through the little water part...Chris couldn't catch him...it was funny...

After our time in Ontario (Rancho Cucamonga) and Anaheim we decided to visit some friends up north in the bay area. One of Chris's best friends growing up in Tonga lives in Mountain View with his wife and child. We were there for a day, and they decided to take us to the Golden Gate Bridge. (Remind you that this is Chris's first time in Cali). Let me tell you...it was COLD!! The wind blowing, and the fog that was covering the bay was crazy, but we had a good time. We walked about halfway, and didn't want to go any further due to a little bit of frost bite, and the fact that the bridge doesn't change down the road. But we got some great views!

It was such a blast to finally meet a member of Chris's family. I was nervous at first, but when I met him it was like we were long lost brother and sister. It was awesome. I wish we could have spent more time with him, and Kilika loved his Uncle. You could tell Kilika knew who he was named after, and there was an instant attachment.
I also must finally admit that yes, Kilika does look like Chris. When I took a picture of Hilamani, Chris and Kilika they all looked a like....
What do you think?
