Growing Bananas in Hawaii

One of the most exciting things for this Born in New York, raised in Jersey boy is growing my own fruit and vegetables. What makes it more exciting is that I get to do so year round. Everything has it's season and everything I have learned over the past 6 years of living and growing here in this beautiful place I have learned by doing. A small banana grove can yield many bananas. Each tree seems to only grow one bunch of bananas at a time, but not like a bunch of bananas you would buy from the store. These bunches of bananas have 40 plus bananas on them. Some of the bunches growing clearly have more than that... probably 100 plus bananas. We picked a bunch last week and they slowly ripen. The bananas will not ripen until they are picked from the tree.

My wife has been living on banana smoothies, made a banana cream pie, banana bread with chocolate chips and there is still a whole bowl full of bananas left, still ripening.

I love living in Hawaii. Every year around this time our small, very remote town has a Hula Festival. Yesterday was this years big event. It's always so wonderful and our family really enjoys the show every year. It is clear every year how hard the Hula Dancer, both men and women, work to perfect their artful dance. My children always enjoy. My daughter loves the Hula dancing and stands on the side dancing, moving her hands as if she really knows what she is doing ... I think she is a natural. My son, though not into the dancing, always has the best time. He runs into his school buddies and there is a water slide for the kids that he spends most of his time on. There are horse rides, also a favorite of my daughter. My favorite part is run by a very kind woman named Melody. She works with the schools and the town to promote reading for the children. There is a display of books, each child can take one free book. They have tables set up for coloring and the children can get their faces painted. She has bags full of prizes for the kids and they can participate in potato sack races, three legged races, relay races. My daughter entered her first race, a three legged race, and she and her partner won first place. My little 4 year old in her first race was a big winner. I was so proud. My son got there just in time to take second place in a 50 yard dash. The food is always great. The local restaurant serves these wrap type sandwiches they call HOGZILLA's and they are so good, I can't even describe it. The children of course get their shaved ice just as they are running out of energy and it's time to go.

This morning was the May Day Celebration at my son's school. It was just one of the best shows ever. We have a very small school. I think about 300 students, maybe more. I understand when moving one of the most important things is making sure there is a good school system, but you can't always judge a book by the first couple pages. Sometimes you have to delve into it some before it starts to get good ... like Stephen King ... always a great story but very difficult for me to get into for the first few chapters. Before I moved to Hawaii I heard HORROR stories about our schools. NONE true. I do not care that the "test scores" are below average ... I DO NOT CARE. With the no child left behind act they are pooling all the kids and all the test scores together ... it's just not fair to the schools or the teachers. We have children here from all over the world, we have an extemely diverse group of people who all make this their home. I believe it's my job to make sure my son is getting the education he deserves and I require. I am right on top of that and participate as a parent to help ensure he grows and learns as he should. My son is top in his class and has had a wonderful year in first grade. He is getting a top notch education provided by some of the most loving and caring people I have ever met. And, his education includes something he cannot get anywhere else ... Aloha.

I did get some video of the show and plan on posting soon.
