Ever westward

*Guest post from Will*


I was scheduled to be in Mauritius from Jan 10 – 19, before stopping back in Brisbane to obtain final documentation and flying back to Honolulu. In the meantime, I needed a place to stash all the seeds I had worked so hard to collect. Fortunately, the proprietors of the hotel I was going to spend one night at on my way back from Mauritius were kind, and happily agreed to let me store the seeds in an air conditioned storage room, and even let me leave my handy homemade tree shaking stick in the landscaped bushes behind the hotel. Truly, the Aussies are a fine people. I dropped off my things at the hotel, and then was off to Perth.

The Australian "bushes" that the hotel let me hide my shaking stick behind; can you spot it??

She wasn't hungry, wasn't sick, and doesn't even have a tooth coming through yet. I guess she just needed some Mama cuddles. Though I missed having my "break" to do things like shower, eat, ya know, no big deal, I reminded myself that someday in the not-so-distant future I'll be longing for these days of holding her in my arms while she sleeps. So, we enjoyed a very slow paced day around the house filled with snuggles. In between the rocking chair naps we did get in a little fun playtime though!

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
