Pumpkin Patch

Let the fall fun begin. Fall break. Tutu visits. Pumpkin patch Saturdays.


Zach and Gabe's second trip to Waimanalo Country Farms was even better than their first. Tutu joined us and our friends Laura and Jennings popped in too. 


This year Zach was able to understand more of what was going on, he could walk more, and of course talk more. He had loads to say about all the "punkins".


This was Isoms first trip to the farm. Last year he was in Okinawa. This year he got to paint pumpkins, drink mason jar lemonade, and pick (and carry) this years pumpkin. A load off for me!



I recommend the corn, Li Hing ice tea, the pumpkin cannon, comfortable foot wear, and clothes you don't mind getting a bit dusty. We also arrived shortly after they open (9:00 am - 5:00 pm weekends in October).



Oh, and henchmen face painting. Highly recommend this. For some reason, Zach wasn't interested after seeing brother. Lol.



Pumpkin patch 2013...perfect.

What fun times--takes me back a few years ago when I enjoyed taking Jon and Jordan to Lattin's Cider Mill for the annual Pumpkin Patch activities (it was our favorite place!)!!! I realy love the picture of the 3 Majors men holding up pumpkins--Zach looks to be straining...LOL Love to all, Aunt Sue xo

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...

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?

Turtle Bay "LOST" Trail

Image
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...
