The kids figured out they could fill water balloons up with the jets in the hot tub.
"What kind of moms are we to bring our kids out swimming on such a cold day," joked Michelle. Here we are all bundled up but the kids still had a blast-especially when Charlie came over.
These flowers are so neat-they look like exploding fire works. 
Next time I will have to post a picture of my mountain man starting a fire...he does it the "manly" way with a blow torch...no pussy footing around with him!
This hike was all about gorgeous vegetation,
The boys saw dogs and started running, they still have the memory of seeing the pitbulls on the last hike.
We went through groves of paperbark trees.
Crossed a few steams. They were so peaceful and sounded so beautiful. The boys wanted to build a house there.
The ferns were so lush. All four of the kids are actually sitting still and are quiet. Evan is sitting on globs of moss, it was so funny when he got up,
This is a grove of Ti trees. Early Polynesians had multiple uses for them. Now they are used for cooking in the ground over hot rocks.
This tree was so interesting. Michelle said it looked like a tree right out of a Dr. Seuss book!
Another stream crossing,
Very neat grove of trees, 
The Wai'anae mountains,
Such a beautiful view of the north shore,
The lady bug landed on Owen's back, 
Erik said there is some secret something going on here and it looked like surface of the Death Star, it was pretty funny at the time. We actually have no idea what this is. The hike is on military property so it could be anything.
The boys and more paperbark trees,
On the way down the road we had to stop for a mama chicken to cross with her brood of peeps, it was the cutest thing! 
the Inner Harbor,
tall ships,
the Constellation. 
...the 3x3 Rubik's cube is no longer a challenge, he gets it done in under 2 minutes now so he had to get the next one which is the 4x4 (did you even know one existed?)...yes, his brain is becoming abscessed-staying up all night solving it...but he got it...
Hanging out in a tree,
Sure wish we could share the sound of the surf and a beach sunset with everyone,
The lady bug is following us around...
We are soooo cooooold.....
For my gift, Erik usually does an "odious" task for me. I asked that he clean the ice and water levers on our fridge. He took the entire front of the freezer apart and spent a good two hours cleaning them. Not only did he do the levers but the water line, ice shoot, and anything else that was there. What a major treat. I also took a nap then we went for a walk and for dinner we had McDonalds. I love Southwest Chicken Salads. It was a great day! Hope everyone had a Happy Valentine's Day!
It looks better today, last night it was all swollen.
Having fun in the hot tub (it's still a bit chilly here),
Pretty girls-pretty flowers,
The Moms taking a break,
Charlie came to play!! Now things really got fun!
Nea came to the door to spread her happiness around.
Erica got to go for a ride with Nea's Dad, Noa, on his scooter.
