Return visit to Ululani's Hawaiian Shave Ice

Ivy & I have been back to Ululani's Hawaiian Shave Ice a couple of times since our last visit, and it is still soooooo good, and the staff is still soooooo friendly. I don't know what's in their employee training but the the way they talk to you, it feels like you've known them all your life, haha. 

 

 We took a look inside their new bakery section, "Sugar Beach Bake Shop," which wasn't in business when I wrote the last blog post, and it's so cute inside. 

Go check 'em out! It's becoming a regular weekend thing for Ivy & I.

Lilikois and Smoothies

I love Summer. It's not like anything is any different here in Hawaii... it's maybe 5 degrees warmer. The sun sets at 7:00pm instead of 6:00pm. There are a ton of tourists on the island making traffic terrible... but for some reason I love summer. My work schedule is totally different and I love it. The best thing about summer is the lilikoi's are ripe! (I think they're a.k.a passion fruit). Ivy calls them "Lilitois." Hahahaha. So cute.

I started making smoothies with Ivy. 

The idea that all those nutrients are mixed into one yummy drink is awesome. 

Here's what we use:

-some kind of veggie/fruit juice

-frozen berries

-frozen chopped spinach

-vanilla yogurt

-milk

-any other fruit we have laying around (like lilikois)

-ice

Ivy loves to help make them too!

And she loves holding the lid on... Don't worry, I help her. This photo is staged for effect.

She likes it, I promise... :)

PS: Cailin gave her that dress. It's from a garage sale. 

I love how Cailin knows what we need/like at garage sales. 

Yay for Lilitois! And Smoothies!

Aloha, 

Becca
