We took a few family shots on our favorite beach in Ko Olina. We go there every Friday with the children and always see a few turtles swimming and sunbathing. Love these pics of our kiddos! They are growing up so fast!

Thanksgiving

We love Thanksgiving! It is such a good thing to be thankful! We made this hand turkey for our decor.First we traced our hands on a thick wood. Tim cut it out with a jig saw, Eli sanded each piece and then we painted each hand with acrylic paint. What a fun project and fun fellowship time! Priceless! We had an awesome dinner!  herbed roast turkey gravy from drippings creamy mashed potatoes mashed sweet potatoes cranberry sauce (made by Sofia) bacon, apple and caramelized onion stuffing ( made by Eli) garden heirloom green beens pumkin spice ice cream And big thanks to dad who did all the dishes!

Biking is fun!

We found a great relatively easy biking trails up North Shore that we have enjoyed a few times already. Sofia is riding a big bike now and she is doing really good. She really enjoys going down the hill.  So this is how we roll..... Na severní straně ostrova jsme objevili pěkné stezky na kola. Sofinka už jezdí na velkém kole, a tak jsme několikrát vyrazili. Tak takle jezdime. Lucinka si pěkně hoví.  Going up the hill can be a little tricky sometimes for a clumsy little princess. At least she keeps in a good spirit. Most of the time! ;-) Sofinka ráda jezdí z kopce, do kopce už to je ale těžší a někdy padá jako hruška.  Enjoying sandwiches after a nice climb. Svačinka po náročném výšlapu.  Love this little muffin!
