Just Another Saturday in Paradise

It had been TOO LONG since we got up and enjoyed the farmers' market at KCC on a Saturday morning. It is pretty crowded with tourists and by Saturday morning we just want to sleep in, but today we got up and going, rode our bikes down to the market, and had some coffee and an acai bowl for breakfast.


We knew we wanted to venture up to the Haleiwa today but weren't sure exactly what to do: hike, snorkel, beach, so many options! But after our morning bike ride Will had the great idea to take our bikes up and bike on the trail that runs north along the coast from Pupukea. We packed up the car and were off! Of course we had to stop at Bonzai Sushi for some lunch.


Then it was off to Pupukea. When we got there it started to rain, but after just a few minutes it cleared up. Even though there were clouds in the sky we were trying to be optimistic. We rode our bikes up the way a bit before we took a stop to enjoy the beach. I found this coconut husk filled with puka shells!


Enjoying the beach.

Gigantic sunset beach. Those are our bikes up there to the right of the pathway.

smooch!
Our plan was to do some snorkeling at Sharks Cove followed by beach pizza from our favorite pizza truck, but on our way back to Pupukea the rain picked up. The sky was filled with clouds and there was little chance of a clear night, so we packed everything up and came home to make our own pizza here and watch a movie. Now we'll just have to go back to try our plan again!

Happy Halloween!

Image
Even though last year was technically Adeline's first Halloween, this year felt like the first true Halloween because we got to go out and enjoy the festivities! The Temescal Business District hosted a Trick-or-Treating event for the kids and had fun activities along the way like free books from the library, story time, a dance party at the yoga studio, costume contests, and more I'm sure but we only made it a few blocks! We had a great time and the businesses were so generous and kind to the kids. Our little ladybug! She would only wear the wings from her costume, but she held on to the wand and headband. There was a fun skirt, too but she didn't want anything to do with it. Oh well. People still thought she was cute! Getting some raisins. Still trying to understand the concept of Trick-or-Treating! Dance party at the yoga studio. Aunt Mary's Cafe made fresh baked "Witches Fingers." Adeline loved hers but we got stuck in the B...

Happy Birthday Will!

Image
No, today isn't Will's actual birthday, it's June 10th, but he is going to be in Hawai`i for a work trip, so we celebrated a little bit early today and made it into his birthday! Continuing with the theme of exploring new places with this beautiful weather, I drove Will out to Stinson Beach and Bolinas for the day. It's about an hour away, and again, thanks to being up early with Adeline, we pulled in and got a great parking spot right before the rush. It was such a gorgeous (but very windy, as in curvy, not strong wind) road! We started our day with brunch on the patio at Breaker's Cafe. We walked around the "town," all one block of it, and saw that there was live music at the other restaurant across the street, Sand Dollar Restaurant. (Yep, two restaurants!) We grabbed a seat and a drink and soaked up the beautiful weather. Adeline loved the music! And she even got a super cute onesie from one of the waitstaff! So cute she's getting free things ...

Play Time!

Our friends Nate and Emily gifted us this wonderful play gym that Adeline just loves! Today was her first day playing on it and she had such a good time holding on to and playing with the animals, watching the mobile on top and listening to the music, and even got in a little tummy time! Here's a video for you to click on:
