Aloha!

Danny Ramirez, 15, is heading for Hawaii! He and several other local AYSO teams will be competing in the Aloha International Cup in July.

This will be Danny's second trip to Hawaii. The first time, his older sister was competing, and the family visited Maui. This time, they're going to Oahu, and Danny hopes to find time to visit the USS Arizona Memorial in Pearl Harbor. But mostly, he and his teammates want to play to win and have a good time.

The players were taking a break today so that a picture could be taken of all of the teams that are going to Hawaii to compete. To facilitate the picture-taking, the teams were lining up in height order.
