our wee budding thespian..

Pics from Kainoa's preschool's Christmas program. Kainoa played the role of Simba with style and grace.. apologies for the amateur video grandma and grandpa, we'll make you a copy of the better version... wish you could have been there.

Diamond Head hike, the best rainbow ever

snow day

dreaming again of the mainland..

School has ended and I'm desperately trying to slow myself down when everything around is still saying go. I find my mind wandering back to simpler times before life here in Honolulu when we could take off on road trips and camp wherever we ended up with a bit of sunlight left. I'm thinking about the Oregon coast alot inparticular, probably to an unhealthy degree but what a place. hence the pics

figuring it out..

Walking up from Black Point Glenn did a little traverse on a wall we've walked by 1,000 but failed to notice its climbability before. Kainoa gave it a try and he's at a point now where he can apply logic to problems and he really enjoyed getting to the top. I'm perpetually amazed by him. Did I mention he's getting huge?

Slowly becoming well rounded people again...

It's been so long since we went to an actual movie at an actual theatre that I took a picture for proof that we didn't dream it.....
