I am a posting machine right now.  If this is any indication of how nerdy I was in school, then, um, yeah, you might just have a good idea of how nerdy I was.  I’m still behind.  I still have 3 themes from the 52 week challenge that I have to get posted: water, money, and shoes.  I’m posting my water pics right now.

I’m catching up.  It feels good.

So, because I am SO dedicated to this 52 week challenge, and I knew that one of the themes was WATER, I decided I had better just pack up the whole family and head to Hawaii, where there’s lots of water.  I’m so dedicated.  So very very dedicated.

These pics were all taken on my trip to Hawaii, where I admit, most of the time, I used a wee little point and shoot so that I didn’t have to lug my “big guns” around.  But, I still got some nice pics!

Where to start?  Well, how about the fantabulous pool that was in our backyard?  We were lucky enough to get to house sit this beautiful house while we were there.  It’s a saline pool.  Easy on the eyes.  And yes, yes, those ARE two sea turtles handcrafted into the bottom of the pool.  And yes, it was really warm.  And yes, there was an outdoor shower and birds and angels singing.  OK, fine.  No angels, but definitely birds.

It was wonderful.

This was a 30 second exposure taken on my tripod on a dark and very windy night.

The kids loved it.  Look at those eyes.  “Mommy?  Can we just stay in here a little longer?”

“Um, okay….”

“Please, Mommy.  Can we please have 1 million dollars?”

“Um…. okay.”

And, I told you I used my point and shoot.  Here are those pics.  This is in Lanikai.  That island out there is one of the Mokulua islands.  When I lived there, we would kayak out there.  I have great memories of this place.

I have a very serious child.  It’s tough how serious he is.  He just doesn’t know how to loosen up and have a good time.

It’s a problem.

The sand in Lanikai is like powder.  VERY fine.  It’s super soft and wonderful.  But, kind of a pain to get off your skin.  Jeez.  Poor me.  I suffered, SUFFERED, trying to get that sand off my feet.

You do feel sorry for me, right?

That’s it!  Thanks for looking!
