Bed fun, kids driving funny comments




The kids were caught red handed jumping on Mommy's bed. Of course that is a NO NO. But it sure is fun. We are just having some tremendous weather lately on the weekends. The kids have really enjoyed our many trips to the beach. We thoroughly enjoy it as well. Christy has fallen in love with a new sport. Stand Up Paddle Surfing. Basically crossing paddling with surfing, except you always stand up. We rented some boards last weekend, and had a blast. The guys were sort of neutral about the new sport, but Christy loved it of course, and she is naturally talented and picked it up right away. The guys continue our surfing quest every Saturday morning to find the perfect wave. We went to Kuilima Bay or Turtle Bay this week. The wave were huge, but not pretty. Sort of disorganized. It was fun trying to dodge the huge waves, and occasionally catch one of them. Good work out. No real safe zone this time so we didn't get any photos. I have been researching digital cameras and waterproof ones. We got our taxes done, and both Christy and I have different ideas what we want to spend our money on. I want camera equipment, and I think she wants a stand up paddle board and paddle. The more likely route will probably be to pay for our vacation to the east coast in March.
Some funny quotes from the kids this week. We were driving in through this nice neighborhood and we saw this family walking along the side of the road. Sydney says "awe they are poor". I asked why she thought they were poor. She said because they don't have a side walk. After a good chuckle I proceeded to tell Sydeny that most neighborhoods in Hawaii don't have sidewalks. Some of the most expensive ones like Lanikai don't have sidewalks. Zachery and I were driving one day and he saw a nice green lawn and said "look dad a golf course". I said no Zachery that is a grave yard. Well that turned into a 30 minute discussion. Some of the highlights are. Zachery said he doesn't want to be buried when he dies. Only bad guys get buried. Zak wanted to know if GOD worked at the grave yard. I told him he probably does make some regular visits. Then of course he wanted to see the skeleton bones etc....

I love the comment about God working at the graveyard, makes perfect sense to me.
It's great to see you and the kids out there enjoying the beautiful island...makes me miss it!
The whale experience story gave me goosbumps, as I'm sure it did you too Doug.
