Each morning when we open the Visitor’s Center and each evening at sunset we are putting up or taking down flags. It has been a good experience for the sisters, many of whom have never done anything with flags.
Sisters Ko and Tautuiaki
Sisters Jensen and Alapa
Our system is kind of hard. One sister has to push in on the crank, while the other actually turns the crank
And, it is no small feat to get those flags all the way to the top!.
US flag goes first, then the Hawaiian flag. The Hawaiian flag has a Union Jack in the corner, then red, white and blue stripes.
Folding the flag has been an education for them too! If it has been raining a lot and the flags are wet, we bring them inside and hang them up on a clothesline we have rigged up in the furnace room.
