Kids Say The Damndest Things (In the Library)

The idea behind this site is pretty good but I think it’d work better if it was opened up so anyone could contribute so the person running it would have lots of content. For example, you can check out the ThingsMyKidSaid sub-reddit for lots of great submissions. At this point, I should probably add something […]

For the Record…

I spent part of today chipping out the last of the ice on our driveway.  In mid-February.  In Saskatchewan. Last winter was one of the most brutal I can remember – usually we get 1-2 really cold snaps through the whole winter (which usually lasts from October to oh, let’s say April).  But last year, […]

Some Final Hawaii Thoughts

Just some stream-of-consciousness thoughts about our trip before allowing myself to slip back to the “real world”… – Shea’s highlight was Anini Beach – My dad’s highlight was the helicopter tour we did of Kauai – I forgot to ask my mom what her highlight was so I’ll say that it was hearing me admit […]

Hawaii Trip Highlights

Hawaii Trip – Jelly Fish

Shea and I could’ve sat and watched this exhibit at the Maui Ocean Center for hours (except Pace was rushing to the shark tanks and it’s pretty hard to argue with that!)

Hawaii Trip – Snorkelling at Molokini

Molokini is one of the world’s best scuba and snorkel spots.  Shea and I went out yesterday for a tour and during the trip, I asked our guide to take our picture.  I expected him to just snap a quickie from the surfboard where he was sitting watching our group but instead he hopped off […]

Hawaii Trip – Makena (Big) Beach

This beach had some of the biggest waves and shore break I’ve ever been brave foolish enough to go swimming in.  I even tried boogie boarding and my ribs are still sore from how hard the water smashed me into the sand! 😉

Hawaii Trip – Road to Hana

A few shots from our trip on the infamous “Road to Hana” today. You must stop for hot-from-the-oven banana bread around the halfway mark (coincidence – I have an Aunt Sandi who’s a major fan of all things Hawaiian!): The view of a black sand beach: One of the many waterfalls along the trail (the […]
