Hi Mark,
On a flight over I met a man who was born in Maui and now lives on the BI with his family, wife son and daughter. The children and dad all were on canoe teams and loved it. The children also were on soccer teams in Keauu.
Another thread seems like a year ago spoke about this fun activity for children

If you'll read thru it you will see it is a new and fun talent children can learn, share entertain themselves and also build their self esteem.
Perhaps if you home school thru the school department you will find other families doing the same thing and you could organize volcano, or observatory outings even beach outings, that would be fun. Friends can be found in any and all of these activities I'd think. Good luck and hope your thread gets lots of action.
One last thing I found charming is in HPP for Halloween, they do a trunk or treat! Families decorate their cars for Halloween, then they all go to the home owners association and park in a big u shape. The children in costume or not visit each decorated car trunk and get candy. The reason for this "trunk or treat" is that there are no street lights and it is safer in the Home Owners association parking lot. I've heard the reason for the lack of street lights on the BI is to protect the sky from light pollution invading the observatory. Don't know if that is true or it is economics, but Trunk or Treat sounded like a fun thing to me.
