Labor Day Sunny Day!

So school has officially begun and things have started to fall back into place as far as consistent schedules. The fall semester always begins on the Thursday before Labor Day, giving all of us an extra 3 day weekend right as the summer fades away. Many friends and I decided to lay out in the sun from 12 in the afternoon till about sunset with a bbq concluding the day. The lake had finally warmed up after an entire summer of defrosting so we all took advantage of the opportunity (being from cities with warm climates and oceans nearby) and immersed our bodies into the still-cold lake.


Cheers to all the laborers that make our world go 'round!



Happy to have the day off and mesmerized with that beautiful day is recent graduate Tim Louis, second-year grad student Ben Fain, and third-year undergraduate Michael Lehman.



Third-year undergraduate student, Elizabeth Weiss, chuckles beside none other than Dagger-doom, Chicago's famous chihuahua.


A very close childhood friend from home was also in town and we made sure to show him an amazing time here in Chicago. He flew all the way from Honolulu for this heart-warming visit...



My best pals, Kuponohi'ipoi Aweau and Esteban Schimpf sun bathe and smile gleefully for the camera.



Aloha and A hui hou Kuponohi'ipoi! ;)
