Sweet Treats |Hawaii Photographer|

I blogged Lunching With The Ladies a few days ago and mentioned how spoiled I was with Angie. Angie produced a short film called “Lychee Thieves“ She asked both my husband and myself to be a part of it and it played at this year’s Hawaii International Film Festival (HIFF). This past weekend Lychee Thieves went to Hilo to be shown at the Palace Theatre. Angie went to Hilo and brought back Mika Mints from Big Island Candies and Strawberry Mochi from Two Ladies Kitchen. We loooove those treats! Angie and I had a great opportunity to work on a few movies in Hilo. First, we did Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull and then we did The Tempest. We love Hilo and yes, we claim it’s our hood:) Thanks Ang for running around Hilo to bring our FAVES back so our family could devour it in mere seconds..lol

These bad boys are so ono.

I got so excited about Mika Mints I could only think of throwing them in the air. Throwing things in the air = happy, happy, joy, joy!

He’s all about the Strawberry Mochi and I don’t blame him one bit.

When you have mochi on your mind you don’t care if your diaper is hanging low or your shorts are just about to come off.

The reason why the camera is always good to have around. I think I’ll keep this one for his future girlfriend..tee-hee!
