A good quantity of quality time

Makawao grandmother Nani Twist pours seawater into a tiny pool for birthday girl Ku‘uleilani Twist, 2, and cousin Kealohilani Twist (obscured), 3, on Saturday afternoon at Ukumehame. Also in on the action is cousin Ivianna Chartrand (right), 3, during the family party celebrating Ku‘uleilani’s birthday. Nani Twist said that she feels lucky to be able to help take care of the kids during the week and play with them on the weekend. “I do spend a lot of quality time with my grandkids, almost seven days a week,” she said. “A lot of grandparents don’t get to do that.”
