Made some design changes to my theme today & added this awesome new family photo to the About page. More changes coming this week. Gonna go relax for the rest of the afternoon! ❤

Our afternoon at Waimea Falls. Lots of beautiful vegetation and flora, (and chickens, of all things). Got to take a dip in the falls but oh my gosh, it was a freezing 40-something degrees. Sophia loved it though and didn’t want to get out. The only ‘lame’ part was that everyone was required to wear a lifejacket because apparently there’s a random 30 foot drop just below the falls.

Hang loose, dudes.

Yesterday was my sister-in-law’s last day here, so my MIL kept the kids at the house and let us have a girl’s day. And, like me, girls day is just perfect for her as long as it involves a towel, sunglasses, and a beach to sprawl out beside.

Philip was at work, so we went to the base beaches, so that we could have lunch with him on his break. We spent the first half of the afternoon at Ft. Hase, but then the tide started rolling in over the reef and was touching our toes (and there wasn’t room to move back further!) So then we drove across base to Pyramid Rock, which is beautiful but rather always rather busy.

We spent quite literally all afternoon just laying in the sun. I haven’t had that luxury, thanks to having to sit up and watch children, in ages. It was just the most needed thing ever.

Safe to say I’m a bit pink and paying for it now, (that’s what we get for using accelerant, and no SPF) but I’ll take it!
