We finished the basic draft of our Adventures in Hawaii on a trip to Haleakalā National Park.
Lucas and Lucy meet Izzy Presley who is the enchanted eight year old singer who caused the Mt. Haleakalā volcano to rumble the moment he was born and his voice was heard.This is going to be an amazing new addition to The Adventures of a Jr Ranger. Adventure #6
When my kids (Jr. Rangers) and I finished going over this story plot we were reminded of the inspiration we felt while making up this amazing new adventure.
We thought of Israel Ka’ano’i Kamakawiwo’ole, the amazing Hawaiian singer who passed away June 26, 1997. He sang the famous Hawaiian version of the song "Somewhere over the Rainbow."
We scrapped together a fun picture we could share in his memory as we started noticing similarities Disney had with Maui in the movie Moana. His physical features were crazy similar so uniting Israel's love for this "Hawaiian Superman Maui" (Shown by his constant use of the fisherman hook necklace)
Hope you enjoy the Collage
