Aloha all – I just got back from a couple of weeks in the Seattle area, seeing family and friends. I want to share a couple of photos – with more to follow.

As part of the consolidation of our Ohana web properties, Ava Kalea, AvaKalea.com and AvaKaleaKennedy.com are now part of the Haole Man Ohana. Ava Kalea has definitely been a BIG part of our ohana since before she was born, but now her websites are related to (most of) the rest of the Haole Man sites – even though she is Hapa … 😉

Mom got mad that I want to live with my dad, so she’s moving us to Hawaii ….

Guess I have no choice, but to #LetHawaiiHappen

July 2021

Ava Kalea Kennedy traveled to the Seattle area from July 1 -6, to see her Daddy, sister, aunts, uncles, grandfather and lots of friends.

Her sister left for Ukraine on the 3rd of July, but Ava and Jacqueline were able to spend some time together three days in a row.

Ava Kalea is super excited to be playing soccer and part of the Unicorns Soccer Club (team). She actually scored a goal in her first game ever vs the Kicking Cuties.

Her Grandma JoJann and Grandpa Doug were at the game and Grandpa Doug caught the action on his GoPro. Great job on the video Doug!! Congratulations Ava Kalea! And nice assist by Ava’s Unicorn teammate Ava!

Well, it’s about time! Ava Kalea has been going to the library in Carmel Valley (San Diego) and Del Mar since she was very young. Now she is going to the library here in Enterprise, Las Vegas, Nevada. AND get this: she now has her own library card!

Ava chose a card that has dogs on the front. It was designed by a 2017 Library Card Design Contest Winner named Katelynn who was 17 at the time.

We got to check out three books today, including: 5 Minute Pinkalicious Stories (based on a PBS Kids television show Ava watches), Disney’s Frozen: Everyone Loves Olaf! and Pizza Pie Snowman by Valeri Gorbachev (who not only wrote the book, but also did all the illustrations).

This Enterprise Library is part of the Las Vegas – Clark County Library District and is staffed with very friendly people. Ava Kalea also had some fun with this great rug:

It’s crazy, my Momma and I moved to Las Vegas over a month ago. Can you tell what I’m going to be for Halloween?

Ava Kalea Loves Sally the Sealion

Every day when we go to the beach, my daddy takes me to visit my friend, Sally the Sealion. She’s always happy to see me!

Ava Kalea has been doing pretty good during the quarantine, but has had bouts of bouncing off the walls. She’s bored right now and wants to post some more pics ….

Guess the posts from Ava’s Instagram are not going to show up here, so maybe we’ll add another gallery. Follow Ava Kalea on Instagram

It’s a great time to be alive – and an even better time to be Ava Kalea …

Here are a few photos from the past few months that Ava Kalea has been back in San Diego …
