Camera died, summer ending, and other irritating things

The hubby is on vacation. Sigh. And other than going to Maui for a few days we are stuck with each other at the house. I thought I made a list of fun activities to do while he was home but so far we've just been bickering instead. Then yesterday my camera memory stick fell apart...literally. Even though I know the cure is to just pop into Target http://www.target.com/
and pick up a replacement stick, it's probably not going to happen for awhile. These are the types of errands that cripple me. They just never seem to get done. So, now I am using my husband's camera---purchased in the desert. It is no frills, not cute, and doesn't fit into my cute carrying case like my other camera.Check Spelling What's a girl to do? I am forced to suck it up and endure the not as cute photos on the blog and Facebook for awhile.
As if the broken memory stick wasn't enough, I also found myself dealing with a broken bracelet and a broken necklace. I know you are thinking...how can I possibly continue on? Well, I got a new pair of shoes. All tragedies can be erased with a cute pair of shoes.
Tomorrow is the last day of summer school for Gabe and then we go to Maui for a three day excursion. I'm so excited---a different palm tree to look at! I think the three of us are going a little stir crazy. I'm hoping that Maui will be a fun experience for the boys since they have never been. I guess I better get on over to my local Target and get the memory stick or I'll have no recollection of the next three days.

Mililani Exploration: Kipapa Stream Trail

Image
Learn something new everyday. Today, I learned there is a lovely neighborhood park in walking distance from my house...and a fabulous hiking trail just behind that!  Today we were finally able to go on a hike---without driving (well, sort of...more on that later). We simply geared up, walked out of our house and to a trail we'd never explored before. Adventure Saturday! Today's hike was 2.2 miles (one way) on a partially old paved road, winding around the back woods of Mililani, down to Kipapa Stream, back up to...Costco in Waipio. Say what? We truly had not planned on arriving on the oustskirts of a farm that is directly across from our local Costco. Hiking truly lands you in the most unexpected places.   Along our route we encountered dirt bikers, a small band of pre-teen scooter riders, a couple of farm hands in a truck, a very intimidating junkyard dog, zero other hikers, and a friendly Starbucks Barista.  That's right, after our Saturday surprise hiking adventure, we f

Turtle Bay "LOST" Trail

Lost in Paradise is how I would describe yesterday's beach/forest trail that led us past crabs climbing on rocks, mongoose dashing across the trail, horses around the stables, a lone Pillbox, and finally to an iconic Banyan Tree famous for recurring roles in the television series "Lost" and an appearance in "Pirates of the Caribbean". My mother-in-law was on island visiting for a week, so Marina, Sarah, and I took her on a hiking adventure...followed up by a thirst quenching Bacon Basil Bloody Mary.  I have previously explored trails with my mother-in-law.  We have trekked through mud and mosquitos at Manoa Falls, walked up a windy Makapu'u, huffed up Hau'ula Loop, strolled the North Shore's Waimea Falls and Kahuku Point.  So, this visit was no different.  We found ourselves hiking pals again for two separate trails this trip, the Turtle Bay "LOST" Trail being the best of the two. This trail begins in the far corner of the Turt

Shameless Plug...

I'm in love with this new outfit of Zach's. Okay, outfit might be stretching it...onesie. I have to share. As usual, the picture is sub standard, but if you click here , you can go to the website where other cuteness can be found. Better pictures there. I guess that's why I don't get paid the big bucks, I can spread the word, but my advertising photo skills are lacking. No matter. Still a cute onesie. And still a cute baby. Thanks to my mommy friend Summer for sharing this rocking onesie with us. We love it. Consider this the thank you note?
