Mother's Day Lunch - Mexico Lindo

After spending hours in the woods with a bunch of kids what could sound better than a Li-Hing Margarita?

Needless to say - things got a little rowdy when the food was served - here's Jack (looking oddly Bon Jovi-ish) wearing beans and guacamole:

...and Olivia (as far as I know she is NOT drinking a margarita):


HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!

Mother's Day Hike

We took an awesome hike with the kids to celebrate Mother's Day - Nu'uanu Pali - Judd Trail...
Here's Kristen and the kids in a bamboo forest:

Heavenly view through the Norfolk pines:

Owen taking a break (look at those cute hiking boots!):

And the whole crew under a Banyan tree:

We almost had as much fun as the mosquitoes!

Beach Day at Castles

Here's a quick movie of Mr. O'en surfing inside Castles (Kailua) on Saturday (thanks to videographer extraordinaire Doog):


And some great close-ups of the boys... Owen:

Cam:

and Jack:

All the flowers on the trail were in bloom - and we know we can't pass up a good flower photo-op:

Hau Tree Lanai

This was taken a few weekends ago - but Tudi treated Kristen and I to a lovely evening out at the Hau Tree Lanai restaurant in Waikiki while Christy watched the kids. All we can say is THANK YOU!

Never too young to surf

The crew had a big day at Kailua beach over the weekend - including a good breaking-in of our new 8' foam decked surfboard (purchased at Costco for a mere $100). We pushed Jack and then Owen into a handful of waves. To our general amazement both of them managed to stand up and ride a few all the way to the beach (about 20' in this case). Owen proved to be a pretty brave little dude - and a goofy foot! Gotta love surfing before you can utter a comprehensible sentence.
