Regatta

Saturday was our first Regatta race for the Waikoloa Canoe Club that I have joined. We practice 3 morning a week at 6am! Yikes! I never thought I would volunteer to wake up so early... let alone get in the water at that time of day. But, it is absolutely beautiful out on the ocean in the morning!!! I just love the workout and it is really getting my abs in shape! After I had been at the regatta for a couple of hours on Saturday I found out that I had some paper work missing and was not able to race :( BUMMER!! The volcano has been wreaking havoc on the air quality out here. The skies have been so full of vog (volcanic ash/fog) that the sun is sometimes not been visible. Saturday was like that.... really weird!

The water is so clear and blue... even when the sky is grey.
Rhett was a busy busy body and made Mike chase him around everywhere. There is so much going on, tons of people and of coarse water everywhere. I think next race I will leave him with a sitter.... less stress!
Look at that Hawaii sky... not typical for sure!

Pool Time

We finally decided to blow up the kiddy pool that Rhett got for Christmas from his Oma and Opa! Rhett has recently become VERY brave at the pool and loves to jump in off the side and swim back to the side (with a little help!). Since he couldn't jump off the side of his 'blow-up' pool, he just kep plopping down on his bottom... sooo funny (watch video)

Mowing with Daddy

Rhett always gets so excited when Mike mows the lawn. He wants to be outside watching everytime, but I think it is too dangerous for him to be out there, so he watches from the playroom window. Last week watching from the window was not enough for him, so I put him outside in his stroller to watch. Mike couldn't stand it and go the great idea to hold him in this carrier..... JACKPOT! Now Mike will have to do this every time he mows, or mow when Rhett is not home!
