We spend a lot of time at Hanalei Bay because the surf is usually pretty calm. Rollin likes to play on the pier and on his first day back here he met a couple who were catching crabs from the dock. They are the nicest people and Rollin ended up helping them all afternoon. They had 8 crab nets hanging from the pier and they let Rollin be in charge of checking them every five minutes. He would count to 60 five times and then eagerly run around and pull all the nets up. If there were crabs, he would take them out and run them to Jimmy. He did this for hours. He was calling them Uncle and Auntie by the end of the day and insisted that we exchange contact info with them so he could see his friends again. Two days later, I got a call from "Uncle Jimmy" and he said he had made Rollin his own custom crab net. Poppy took Zig to the airport on Sunday and they stopped to pick up Rollin's new net. To Rollin's suprise,he had made him not one, but five nets! The people on this island are pretty fantastic.
What is evident to me in these pics is the interaction of Dad and the kiddoes. Bonds being created through the outdoors creates fond memories. A beautiful backdrop to a nice day!!
Ash, you don't have to let us know that comment was from mom :-). Her comments are always blatanlty obvious as to who it came from. I love you mom :-). Finally some pictures, keep them coming as much as possible.
I think my face is three shades of green right now. I might be extra jealous because it has been freezing rain all day today. Enjoy every moment, but promise to come back to us :)

The above comment is from Mom!!
People are so much more present and aware and open to other people when they are moving at a slower pace. Ahh, the life near the sea...
Rollin on the beach reminds me so much of my Ben on the beach! It sounds like a wonderful day!
