soggy snowballs, sprinklers and submarines

Biking around at Hickam - some really huge sprinklers to chase!

Biking around at Hickam - some really huge sprinklers to chase! Can you see how soaked Sam got? Right through the helmet openings, too! 🙂 We were really having a good time!

This is a cell phone shot taken quickly before the next deluge from the sprinklers came around! We had a blast racing through them and comparing who got hit the worst! We also happened upon a submarine slowly pulling out and heading to sea. While bike/running around on base we stumbled upon a Native Hawaiian burial site, so we picked up a Hawaiian word for Sam to use when he wants some alone time – KAPU, meaning “keep out.” Ha ha – Ben liked the word, too. He was on Sam’s bed later, reading his books, saying “kapu, kapu!” The day began and ended with damp paper towel “snowballs” being flung around the house, trying to tag each other on the head, the ear, the nose… Soggy snowballs! They work quite well – you can bunch them up and throw them just like a real snowball! I really surprised the boys this morning when I threw the first one after wiping up Ben’s face 🙂 It just seemed like the thing to do – and howls of laughter filled the house with happy sounds as we leaped upon the fallen snowballs and tried to get each from behind the couch and across the room 🙂  Off to a hike today – Pu’u Pia. One of Sam’s favorites. Tomorrow it’s official – he’s FIVE!
