2 The "old" threesome...Ben is sleeping next to Ang in his seat.
3 Sam's sitter, Roni, swooped in and picked Sam up for a romp! She was down for a walk after work.
4 Roni is so awesome - she surfs, leads kayaking eco tours, teaches surfing and windsurfing, is lifeguard/CPR/defibrillator certified! And she's only 21! She may even start working at Sam's preschool as a teacher. We are blessed mom "found" her for us.
5 Taking a paddleboard to the beach :)
6 Go, Ang, GO!
7 Sammy got into the action, too!

9 I love paddleboarding. I totally want to buy this board...
10 Little buddy #2 :)
11 Dave paddleboarding!
12 Our little patch of sand. That's the beach tent I bought to gear-test. It is working out well. We used it at a polo match, too.
13 Doesn't seem so long ago that Sam was in the pack. Now look at him, with his own pack! Those are all his peakbagger buttons that I made for him down the middle of his pack. We still need a couple more for this hike and Likeke Falls!
14 Thanks for the great new pack, Dave!!!! He lugged it home during an 18hr trip from upstate NY.
15 Ang is the consummate hiking buddy!
16 Sam's strange hiking stick - but this is how you use it!
17 The many faces of Ben!
18 We looked for colors and shapes. Everything was bright due to the rain. We weren't sprinkled on under the dense foliage.
19 Another Ben face!
20 I love this part of the trail.
21 Big rain clouds over the mountains! We were in a patch of sun the whole time, though!

23 Such a neat ridge walk up there!
24 He just looked so grown-up here in this stance...had to take a picture!
25 Growing out of a stump.
26 Peekaboo!
27
28 More hide and seek!
29 Keeping Ben from falling over in the gale force winds!
30 We spotted Josh's carrier waiting to pull in, too! This hike looks out over Honolulu.

32 Sam helping mommy climb...
33 I really love a shot I have like this of Sam...perhaps this will be the one of Ben that I frame.
34 The moss looked like water with the light splashing over it.
35 The leaves only grew out of one side of the stem.

37 Sam was digging like this little doggie. We were taking Ang out for a walk (sounds funny!) on the beach before her flight.
38 Lanikai Beach...
39 Buds! Miss you, friend! Thanks for a great visit and happy reunion with Josh!
