Tarzan at Alligator Pond

A few Saturdays ago we hit a weekend that was tolerable for a beach visit.  Mark and the kids had a great time playing Tarzan and swinging from the trees, while Alex was content to splash in his own little rock pool.
Here's Alex all decked out for conference today.  I thought he looked rather spiffy in his new tie...it didn't help him behave any better unfortunately.  Send all advice for keeping a 1 year old quiet for 2 hours in conference when he is overdue for a nap to www.imnotlisteningbecause itwontworkanyway@yahoo.com.
Yesterday we headed off to the bishop museum to check out their animation exhibit.  It was really great and kept us well entertained on a rainy Saturday morning.  We loved all the silly antics that got caught on tape and played back to us with special effects.  Here are Mark and Emily filming a stunt scene.

Waimea Saturdays

"The banyan family of Waimea Valley"

We just bought a new pass to the valley as it is our best hiking option now that Alex is too heavy to carry up the Hauula trail.
Daddy is really addicted to the ukulele and can't stop playing even for a hike now.  Nice walking music though.
Em at Waimea Falls.  
Alex off to torment the peacocks.
Cheese!
Everytime it started to rain we were right by the banyan tree so had a fun place to shelter and play.
Second time hiding from the rain.

Fabulous February

BYUH Food Fest, one of our favorite little Saturday night outings.
Hauula Elementary put on a nice valentine's lunch for parents to come and eat with their kids.  
Saturday morning pillow fights. . . out of control if you ask me.
Our aspiring pianist who loves to push every button her can get his chubby little fingers on.
Looking back on February, we did some pretty neat things.
