Surfing on the Sand

So we went to the beach this evening for a nice stroll so we could enjoy the lovely weather. Along the way we saw a pod of dolphins, some driftwood we pretended was a sea monster, and took time out to pose like surfers. Love you all. We had a great day-with tee ball and just relaxing. I will put some pics up on the blobs soon of our allstars. Until next time. Alofa tele.

Dinner with my dear dear wife @ Macaroni Grill

This is was what I ordered when we went out after going to a wedding yesterday. Very yummy! It looks like a picture out of a food magazine.

Family Day Projects

Welcome to Family Day Projects. The show where we follow families that attempt to do something fun and or need to get something done. First up, our do-it-yourselfer decided to make a "run" for his dog. Without a fenced in backyard, Cisco, the family's fun-loving pooch cannot run freely. So first, we take some coated wire and make some loops. We then attatch both ends to two trees in the backyard. Lastly, we take three D-rings and attatch Cisco's leash and voila!
Second project of the day was to attempt to build a hot air balloon. Supplies: 23 gauge wire, wire cutters/pliers combo, tea light candle, a third of a soda can, and tissue paper.Form the wire into a frame that you can hang the tissue paper.Here is a picture of our supplies (minus the tissue paper and candle). Poor design (namely the distance between the can/basket and the balloon) and rushed workmanship equals:

So, the maiden voyage of the Airship Tupua was a little less than stellar. Maybe next time. Talk to you all later.
