Smiles:

• Hearing L in VM screaming "HELLO! HELLO!" in the background, and then, when M finally gave her the phone, whispering "hello"
  
• Talking to K and hearing her excitement at getting splashed by the sea lions at the zoo (she got to sit in the "splash zone" with her older cousin!)
• Watching the fog lifting off a beach full of outrigger canoes
  
• Getting out on the water. SALT water!
• Eating kalua pork and butter mochi (not at the same time!)
