Hawaii Part 1

We started the trip with a ride to the airport in a fancy van. Noah was thrilled (although he doesn't look it in this picture).

 There's our plane!!


 Noah did great on the plane and we fully credit that to the fact that we brought his carseat on board. He stayed strapped in for the entire flight and even had a good nap.


 We also came supplied with books and toys that he hadn't seen before so they were extra entertaining.


Noah found his first Hawaiian fish at the hotel where we picked up our rental car. He kept waving and saying hi to them.

There were Rays there as well.

 Of course he had a blast swimming.





And playing with construction toys in the sand.





And visiting the big construction equipment that were working outside our resort.




More to come soon!

Video fun

It's rare that Noah lets us video him singing, but boy, he loves to sing!

In the Middle of the Night

Run Away Home/Country Roads/Leaving on a Jet Plane mashup

A more enthusiastic Leaving on a Jet Plane with better lighting.

ABCs until he turns into Curios George.

A Hawaiian style overly dramatic meltdown that is cured when he turns back into Curious George.

Papa Art's Last Day

 After 40 years as a pharmacist, Papa Art has retired!

 We went to visit him at the pharmacy for the very last time.

Noah was so excited to go behind the counter. Congratulations Papa Art!

Marine Mammal Center

The Center has an art exhibit called Washed Ashore and all the pieces are made up of trash that has been collected along beaches.  Noah loves it and we remembered to bring the camera on our last visit.

It's a musical starfish!








 He's working on his charting skills.


He has a little ways to go before we actually let him near a chart.

Cars! Trucks!


 He can identify almost all car models by their logos now. Here he's saying "Look at that big Ford!" and grinning uncontrollably. It's like a crazy party trick, but it takes FOREVER to get through parking lots now.


His love of cars has spread to his food. He doesn't eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich anymore, he eats a Chevy sandwich instead!

Around the House

Fun with boxes




Look! A tow truck!

 This one is a bed.

Nik came and did some electrical work at our house. Noah was a very big helper. He looooooooves Nik!


Isn't he too young to start blocking us out?



Busiting up laughing.  What is he laughing at?

Himself, of course!
