Jack Johnson in Hawai`i

Back in April it was announced that Jack Johnson would be performing two outdoor shows at the Waikiki Shell. I was so excited to cross this one off the bucket list! We've never seen Jack Johnson live and I always dreamed about seeing him in Hawai`i. I'm so glad I was able to get tickets for the show.

We went with two of our dear friends, Dawn and Jill, and had the most amazing time. The show was part of the Kokua Foundation (Jack and Kim's foundation) and featured a lot of local non profits that are working toward a more sustainable Hawai`i. Here we pledged to carry reusable shopping bags and bring reusable utensils (spoiler, we already do! yeah!).


Before the main show, Jack and some of his band members put on a show for the kids. It was super cute. (Fun to see them up close, too!)


Then the main show began. It was the most beautiful concert I've ever been to. Jack even brought up about ten different local artists to perform with him throughout the show. It was one of the most memorable shows we've ever seen. Right up there with JT : ) And what a beautiful evening it was under a clear sky and full moon.

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!

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:
