Surprisingly tennis is a big thing in Tonga. At least where my sister lives. My brother-in-law would go every morning and some nights. One of our first nights there, he was playing and we walked down to where they were. It was nice, because it was the perfect temperature and stayed light longer. Adona and Vili had a lot of fun running around in the grass and playing with each other, while the older kids practiced their tennis. My sister said that Adona was totally speaking Tongan words and in the right contexts too. This was probably only our 2 or 3 day there, so she had never heard the words. It was just her mumbo jumbo, but my sister was laughing, because it totally sounded Tongan. Besides that, it was funny to see her running after her cousin and playing basketball, while I just sat in the grass enjoying the chance to relax. No worries here!

Hey Jenna! Wow, that is so awesome that you were able to go to Tonga. I still want to go there so bad. I didn't realize your sister was living there. How long have they been there now? Their daughter is so big now. I guess it's been a while since we were all back in Hawaii but it still feels like yesterday. Anyway, I hope that you're doing well!!
Oh yeah, Adona is so adorable :)
Keep posting pictures of your trip to Tonga. So fun. Looks like you had a great time.
Oh my goodness those kids are all looking so grown up! Vili is so cute, is he still a little troubl-maker over there? When we went there last year Vili was the little trouble-maker and Brandon was so perfect. And how's Hika doing in the Tongan schools?
Looking through your posts it looks like you did way more Tongan stuff then I did when I was there. I'd like to see tapa made! I'm glad your trip turned out to be so nice.
