Catch Up Post

Two posts in one day!  Hopefully I can get caught up.  Maybe I'll even do 3 posts today.  Or 4.  Then I will be ready for spring break and not be behind anymore.  Anyway...
We got our passports!  Wahoo!  We are ready for our summer adventure:
 Tucker did this:
 The kids Christmas present to me arrived finally.  Pretty funny:
 Tucker tried out contacts:
 We spent the day at a TEDx conference.  It was pretty awesome.  Loved it. 
 Kids got creative:



 It kept snowing.  Over it, although we need it badly:

 Went snow shoeing with friends.  These are the times I'm not over it.  I just hate shoveling it after awhile:

 Clara did some yoga:
 Girl Scout Cookie season hit us.  Hard.  So much work, but Clara met her goal of selling 500 boxes.  That's a big deal.  Way to go Clara:
 Cafe De Valentine happened again:


 And it snowed again:
 Girl Scout World Thinking Day came.  Our troop did India and it was awesome.  They looked so good and it was a great experience for them:




 Rob and I caucused.  Caucuses are weird and somewhat undemocratic.  Our system is so jacked.  Hating this election season.
Pretty winter skies:

Kids did this weird how hot can we get it in here experiment.  Glad no one died in the making of this video:

Anyway....that's about all.  Whew!

New Years Hawaii Trip Saturday (our last day)

We had an afternoon flight out of Kona.  Rob, kids minus Lucy, and Papa hiked to the back of Waipio.  Lucy and I started out, but the stress of getting packed and the herds of cows staring at me, made me bail out early.  Like at the very beginning.  Kind of sad to miss it, but we left right after they got back, so it is good someone got us all packed up right? It was a great trip.  Loved every minute. 










Home again home again jiggity jog..

New Years Hawaii Trip: Friday

Friday started with malasada's at Tex's drive in. Then it was Akaka Falls where a worm landed on her leg and she FREAKED out.  Was hilarious.  Then we headed to Hilo for Rainbow Falls, The giant Banyan tree, and Cafe Pesto.  Then we went to Volcano.  It was perfect weather for the Kilauea Iki hike.  I love that hike.  So cool.  Then the steam vents, lava tube, and finally the glow.  It was a really fun day.
