I am still laughing about this one! Yesterday morning when I went in to get him, he said sheepishly, while still lounging in bed – “I have something in my diaper for you.” So I said “oh?” Sam replied with a big grin “A Yinkin Yog!” (Lincoln Log) Can you even believe it?

Today we paid respects to the USS Arizona in the morning and then enjoyed aloha Friday at the tide pools with pizza and mai tais. I couldn’t go in the water due to a procedure on my leg (two days before a race – nice). I’m pointing to the fun I’m missing in the picture above 🙂 I tried standing like a stilt on one leg, but my balance wasn’t too good. Is it possible to experience a systemic reaction to a local anesthetic? I think it went to my brain. I mentioned this to Dad on the drive home – you can imagine his eyes going wide and the ensuing questions 🙂 ha ha! Since I’m not supposed to shower until tomorrow (stitches), Dave just offered to power up the air compressor to spray the sand off me. [Dana – don’t even laugh! I know you’re plotting and scheming how you can get stitches so you can be a shower-skipper, too! When I pushed for a 48-hr reprieve, the doctor just shook her head and laughed. :)]
