Soo it has been awhile...

I knew it had been awhile since I posted last, but I didn't realize it had been almost 2 months!

I completely blame Hawaii. That's the thing about living in Never Never Land is that time no longer has meaning, or at least not the same meaning. 

We were making plans with our friends and realized we live on the same Island, but hadn't seen each other in months! They could hardly believe it had been that long too. So here is my catch up post, a little sampling of what we've been up to in the last few months.

Richard repaired his headlights! He got glass lens covers to replace the old plastic ones. It took him quite a bit of work. The weather wasn't cooperating, it rained so hard as we were trying to put them back in. Even with me holding two umbrellas we both got thoroughly soaked! They look AMAZING though so we'd say it was worth it. 

We took a quick hike on the Koma Mai trail:

We met up with another group on this side trail. They had heard that if you follow it down into the canyon that there is a cool waterfall down there! We wanted to check it out but my knee had started acting up (snowboarding injury) so we will have to try it some other time.

Richard made another set of goggles:

We found a new place to park at our favorite North Shore beach! This spot has shade and doesn't require us to run across the busy highway anymore! It is also closer to the part of the beach we normal would hike out to. It was so perfect I could hardly believe it existed!

There have been tons of turtles again and several very large males! So far we had really only seen females on the beach so it has been fun to see some of the males, too.

Here is a nice video of one slowly pulling out of the surf:

There was an amazing sale on Blueberries plus I found buttermilk 50% off so I made these amazing blueberry pancakes:

 On another North Shore trip we forgot our regular camera's so I took these with my phone, They recorded the color strangely and at least on my computer they look like old 1970's photos:

This is Richard running away from me because I mentioned it was getting close to time to go:

Sadly for the last few weeks it has been windy, cloudy, rainy and cold. It feels like we barely get a chance for any really good adventures. Plus our hard earned tans are starting to fade! We did have a fun beach day with our friends Clint, KK and their little boy Jet. We went out to KoOlina and played in the sand. The water wasn't too chilly but the wind was so we didn't do much more than wade in the water. Jet decided that Richard was a pretty cool guy and spent his time pulling Richard around and jabbering at him in baby.

I found it adorable! I wish I had taken more pictures.
Well that's about all. I've been reading and Richard has been gaming, and we've both been trying out Pinterest recipes. Hopefully this winter weather will break and we can get out and have some more fun :)
Also all this month there will be mermaids visiting KoOlina so we will definitely have try and get some pictures of that!
