Well I know I can't complain about it being hot when some mainlanders have experienced 100+ degree weather lately...but...when it's in the mid-80's, with no trade-winds and no air conditioning it can be stinkin' hot. So I couldn't wait to take our trip to the beach after dinner. I wanted to actually get in the water (usually I just like to sit on the sand and relax...I don't like things floating around and touching my legs) and just cool off. So Ethan and I did just that and had fun riding some of the waves. Jude joined us a little later with much excitement, but after a few waves he calmed down. I thought he was too cold so I handed him off to Jason to wrap him up in a towel...only to find out that he was a little sea sick. Poor kid. He perked up after sitting still for a while. I guess the waves were a bit too rough.
These are some pictures that I snapped on our walk down to the beach. I love these flowers but I have no idea what they are called. I think they might be in the azalea family but bloom year round.
These were pictures on the way back. Amazing clouds.

Oh how delightful to enjoy the ocean, the boys, flowers, clouds, and 80 degree weather. Sounds perfectly wonderful. Mom H
Erin,
I lurk on your blog all the time. It's neat to read your reports about life in your family.
And I lived in Hilo for a few months, so I know how hot it can be when you live at 10 feet altitude in the tropics with no trade winds. Have you been having vog, too, or is that just a Big Island thing?
Keep up the reporting!
Hey Woods, This is Christina Jones, Jeremy's wife :) I've peeked here before and was so confused and then I heard you guys were in Hawaii. It sounds fantastic! I was bummed to drive by your old place, though and realize you weren't here. We've just moved back. Anyway, I was enjoying your posts about the preschool work!
The bush is called bouganvilla ("bo-guhn-vee-yah"). They ar one of my favorites, too. Be careful with the boys, though, they have a lot of big thorns. :-)
