North Shore Family Day

Today, we went on an excursion to the North Shore. More specifically- Shark's Cove and Waimea Bay. Like always when we go to Shark's Cove, it is a requirement for the boys to jump off the rock. Unfortunately, they didn't jump off Waimea. A first, though, was that for dinner we went to Jameson's By the Sea. I had the garden burger. Mmmmm, was it good.

I've noticed that in most pictures I take, Thing 1 is the 'model. Thing 2 doesn't like being in my pictures (strangely). So, Thing 1 is his replacement.

So...the story behind this picture. Before I started taking pics of Thing 2 flipping, he was 'whaling'-jumping and sliding down the berm on his stomach. I, then, proceeded to take pictures of the 'whale,' but right when I lined up to take the shot, he started doing a back flip. Hence, I didn't catch the whole flip.

                                                               

At first, Dad didn't want to do this, but with a little poking and prodding from Thing 2, this picture is here.

I Have A Confession

       For the past year that Thing 1 has had his driver's licence, I haven't been the best supporter.... As his little sister, I'm usually a backseat driver(even though I personally have never driven a car). Although he does occasionally make mistakes, he is a very good driver. I just feel like I have to get all the teasing out before he goes away... forever! :'-(

1..2..3...BREAK!

       Some people think that as homeschoolers, either 1) we do nothing all day, or 2) our parents push us really hard to become 13-year old geniuses. Our family is in the middle. We try do do our best in all that we do, but we also take breaks to cool off our brains :)

       Since Thing 1 is leaving in August for college (he decided on Corban University in Oregon!!), he wanted to get a lot of hiking in before the school-craze starts up again.

MONDAY: Thing 1 & 3 went exploring in Makakilo(Bald Mountain)

TUESDAY: Koko Head Hike

WEDNESDAY: Chinaman's Hat Hike

THURSDAY: Makapu'u Lighthouse Hike

FRIDAY- SUNDAY: REST!


Matthew 11:28 “[Jesus said,]Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.”

Book Review: Fahrenheit 451

Sad. A world without books. A world in which books are burnt until there are only ashes left. I don't know if I'd be like Guy Montag and keep banned books or stay quiet. What would you do??
