Recent fun

We had a slow week this week, which was kind of nice. Didn't have too many places we had to be. So one morning, we hung around for a while and I decided to take the kids down to the piers and see the Maritime Museum. We had a really nice morning, the kids enjoyed watching the boats and the huge cranes that unload them. Then we went into the museum and we must have spent an hour and a half in a fairly small museum (a miracle with two preschoolers). They really enjoyed all the models of boats and exhibits they had. They were both on their best behavior the entire time.

In the maritime museum, they had an observation tower that you could climb up to see some great views. The photo above shows the aloha tower and below shows one of the big gentry cranes that load and unload the big boats.

Weather here has been nice, as always. It is certainly cooler now in January than it was in July when we first got here, but still very nice. It cools off at night in winter, we get down into the 60s usually and up to the mid to upper 70s during the day.

The kids are growing fast, in just a few months Adam will be starting Kindergarten already. He has grown up so much in just the last few months. He wants to show you how he can do everything himself now, which is kind of nice, but sad. My little boy is growing up. Cole is a handful, he causes more trouble than Adam ever thought of at his age. He certainly keeps me busy. Soon they'll be 5 and 3 years old already. Time flies!

You are calling 60 cold? How quickly you have forgotten your Midwestern roots......

When will Adam start scho
ol? Next fall? That's when the time clock begins - only 13 more years and he will graduate!
