Haka

Oh wow! Check out this website that shows the history of the Haka and even a demonstration with an english translation.

Tis death, tis life. behold there stands the hairy man Who will cause the sun to shine. one step upwards, another step upwards. the sun shines!

The first Haka was supposedly performed by women, sent to revenge the death of a pet whale.

Great website--the kids are napping right now, but I know Christian will love to see this when he gets up. Some of those guys have pretty scary looking facial expressions!
How's the house hunt going??
love, Nancy

Alright! This is very scary--can't imagine Christian and Isaac looking that scary--maybe Dad aka Uncle Mark.
