Stories

Mid September, 2019

Good times the past week or so, including:

  • A hike through the pine forest by the duck pond

  • A visit to Pumpkin and the other birds and ice cream under the banyan tree

  • There’s a protest that’s been going on since we got back from Colorado regarding a proposed telescope on the Big Island. Lots of cars driving with an upside-down Hawaiian flag and that of the Kingdom of Hawaii

  • “Highlights” magazine arriving, means so much to kids that they each get their own

  • Gymnastics, X-country, Jui Jitsu

  • A big part of Daddy’s pool project is finished! It looks spectacular. We went to see it after work and stayed for the most glorious sunset

  • We got a chess/checkers set and the kids made up their own game lol

  • A great surf session

  • An afternoon at the beach, climbing and jumping from the kids’ favorite tree

It’s a strange time of year as everyone I know is headed towards fall and we’re in this endless summer. I miss the seasons but also how lovely to not have to be wrapping up summer fun.

Happy Wednesday!
