Outdoors

We visited one of our favorite places a few weeks ago. Ho'omaluhia Botanical Gardens.

Just a few pictures to share.


The oldest found something to sketch in his nature journal.

#3 was impressed with the size of this leaf.

#2 thought it made a great umbrella.


I have been missing lately as I can't decide whether to keep up with the blog or not. Things around the home are going a little crazy which has me undecided. But I was at a conference this weekend and one of the workshops I took was about blogging...which has me interested once again;) So time to reevaluate!

We made it!

That's what my goofy oldest boy said as we finished the end of our hike. He likes to talk. He likes to hear himself talk. He likes to talk to everyone he meets-he's going to make quite the old man as he ages. We went on the Diamond Head hike today. Kids have been wanting to go again for awhile. It's been so long they couldn't remember going before. Hey, there are 278 steps on this hike in case you didn't hear. Yeah, I heard that about 278 times on the way down...as did everyone we passed.

How do you feel about sideways shots? It's all I have of the older two. This is at the 'finish line'. Notice someone has abandened his shoes. New shoes=uncomfortable so as soon as we got to the sidewalk off they were.



Not a clear day.


My girl and Spiderboy. He walked all the way up but I did need to carry him down the steep stairs. That was just too scary for him.
