Beach Bum


Feeling a lot better this PM after a long weekend. Weird how you're supposed to be refreshed, but I was more tired than ever. Still am to be honest. Jake was too. He went right to sleep just now. No fuss, just right into bed. A dream lately, a real dream.

Today was a typical Monday. Picked him up, went to mom's office, waited for about 45 mins before she finished, then came home. Cleaned, ate, read, sleep. Mundane? Only the cleaning part.

The camping, like I mentioned yesterday, was great. Jake had a wonderful time being the center of attention all weekend. I think he liked being outdoors as well. He slept so well and seemed genuinely happy to be discovering new things and wandering around the campsite. He wore us out more than once as he tends to not care if we're with him as he wanders; he'll just take off and assume we're behind him, in spite of the fact that we're yelling at him to come back.

Friday we had fun setting up the new tent, eating outside, and sleeping next to the ocean. I think we all loved the sound of the waves and the roar of the wind as it hit the sand on the beach. A tad cool for all, but a nice change. Saturday was an early rise followed by a day on the North Shore. The weather could have been better, but we still had fun. Lunch at Haleiwa beach park (kiawe grilled chix, kimchi, rice and a large Foster's for me and mom). Afternoon walking to Waimea Falls. This was challenging to be quite honest. We forgot the stroller, so Jake had to walk most of the way. Trouble is, he wanders, he doesn't walk. It took 2 hours; should have taken 20 mins. All a part of life's rich pageant. Dinner with all the aunties an uncles in the eve (got to fly a kite with Jon and Edward too) and a quick bedtime again. Sunday early wake, car pack, lunch at Killer Tacos and home. Dinner with nana, sleep.
