Cross Country Cael


Even though running isn’t that fun to do- or to watch- we were excited to see Cael improve and get better during the races for the high school team. He met some good friends and they worked hard during their season. Team pasta dinners every Friday night and hanging out in school parking lots/stadiums/or parks most of the day on Saturday. Go XC!

Trip to Kauai

This is actually a funny story-
Ben and I were actually trying to catch any space A flight to Japan, but it is hard to plan very far in advance when you only have a 36 hour notice of the flight schedules. So we waited and watched and saw plenty of flights to Japan the week before Ben had scheduled  leave, but there was so many changes to the flight schedule when we  actually could get on a flight.  There was even a notice of a flight to Australia so we began to plan for a trip to Australia two days before which was later canceled—the flight was completely changed.  So after two days of no success of space A  and waiting to get on the flight, we made a last-minute decision to hop to another island for a few days.  We had gotten home at 10 o’clock after not making the evening flight, bought tickets and we were on the 6 o’clock in the morning flight to Kauai!
We had a fun time exploring the island and having a kid-free trip— which is always a good time!
We went straight from the airport to a fun little breakfast spot- it was so yummy and filled us up our hike on the Canyon trail. What a trail and the scenery was amazing!
We explored around the area a little more and then made the drive out to the Barking sands marine Corp post where we would stay for 2 nights.
We rented kayaks and paddled our way up to queens bath and secret falls. We went a little farther up the river to a swimming hole- even though it wasn’t very hot for that type of activity;)
