The past two Saturdays were spent shopping for, preparing, and rolling sushi. It was a family affair. The high school band that Malachi is a member of was invited to march in the Pearl Harbour Day Parade this year. A lot of fund raising was done, but just two weeks ago we found out that we, personally, are six hundred dollars short. This is after paying five hundred dollars already. So, we brained stormed and came up with a way to earn money. Sushi fundraiser. So the past two Saturday nights we had friends over who generously donated in exchange for sushi. Jerry learned how to roll just by practice and eating a lot of sushi over the past several years. I prefer to have sushi at home rather than any restaurant now.
Update: Malachi had so much fun going to Hawaii! He was able to go to the Polynesian Cultural Center, snorkeling, tour the island and then go to the USS Arizona. The band performed in the Pearl Harbor Memorial Parade at night on December 7th . I am so glad he was able to have such an awesome experience. Pearl Harbor has always held a special place in my heart. I went there the first time when I was thirteen years old and saw first hand what servicemen are willing to do for my freedom. I love my country and those that serve. God bless them and their families.
