crafting

So, one day while we were in hawaii, Summer noticed that some landscape guys were gathering palm fronds after a storm and stacking them in the back of a truck.  She wondered what they were going to do with them.  She contemplated the situation, searched the internet, and found a solution...
The next evening, Summer noticed that the wind had blown more palm fronds from the trees.
Once the sun had started to go down, she tiptoed around the complex and gathered up the branches that she knew the landscapers would haul off in the morning.  She neatly trimmed them and stacked them in a pile in the kitchen.
The next day when it was break time between pool and beach ( I know, poor us...)
Summer found an internet tutorial and started making animals out of palm fronds.
Next time we go to the Big Island, we are going to gather a bunch of palm fronds and drop Summer off early in the morning in front of Akaka Falls.  
Hopefully see will be able to impress the tourists with her fish, birds, bowls, and hats.

Waaaaay cute. I thought she was going to thatch you a cabana or something. Maybe she can earn enough to pay her own way next year. :)
