Ben is picking himself up from a second pretty good wipe out - he makes funny noises and grunts when he wipes. Then sometimes he just lies there as if completely insulted the ground would move out from under him like that. Check out Tamara's face behind him! We got smoothies at Lanikai Juice afterwards 🙂

We just went on a local hike today because it was so hot – wanted to make time for smoothies afterwards, and I am pressed for time due to move-related chores on top of the usual routine of work and miscellany. We had a great time, and found a cute orange snail, a spider, and some cool breezes as we neared the top.  Here’s another picture I really like which shows Kailua against the backdrop of the mountains and the marsh.

Kalaheo hillside (my bailout for daytime tsunami warnings).
