after petroglyph park, we went over to the hilton and saw the dolphins, rode the boat around and bought some new hats!!! happy birthday ric!! hope you had fun!!

Petroglyph Park





today, to celebrate ric's birthday......we had adventure day! we went to the petroglyph park by mauna lani. it was a pretty short "hike", if you even call it that. grace walked pretty much the whole way, falling a few times getting some lava rock scratches on her legs. she is tough as nails. all she said was "hurt", pointed to it, and kept going. yes, some were bleeding. she doesn't get that from me, that for sure.

welcome 2008





happy new year everyone!! i dashed home from work and convinced ric we needed to wake grace up and ring in the new year. we woke her up at about 11:15. it was hard, but after she saw our neighbors across the street blowing their fireworks, her eyes got really big, and there was no returning to bed. grace and i made cocoa for the 3 of us and we each has some of ric's famous mochi. i brought home some party hats, balloons, and noise makers from work.......so we had quite the celebration. now it is almost one.........and time for bed.....just waiting for the sugar to wear off.
anyone have any inspiring resolutions???
