In February, we took our first trip to Maui! What an amazing adventure! Although we stayed in Kanapaali...we explored most of the island. The boys were obsessed with the beach and boogie boarding. The beach gave us opportunities to swim with sea turtles and snorkel. We took a two day trip around the island via The Road to Hana, which also included a drive up to Haleakala Crater. In February, its whale season in Maui!! Whales were abundant and very active! We actually had a calf swim right next to our inflatable boat on the first whale watching trip...the mother then breached off our bow! Very exciting...we can't wait till our next trip!
Despite the house chores...we still manage to travel and play all the time! Over spring break, we explored more of the central coast! We drove San Luis Opismo along Highway one to Monterey! We spent another summer boating in Tahoe! Grandma and Grandpa Rosencrans visited in October...so we took them to Monterey and Carmel. Dungeness Crabbing in Bodega Bay over Thanksgiving. Winter is spent skiing in Tahoe every weekend!
The boys are growing, growing, and growing! Finn started the first grade at Brooks Elementary. His favorite subjects are math and science! Chet continues at Ms Lisa's Montessori preschool part-time as well as attending preschool at Brooks. Finn is in to baseball...both playing and watching on TV. Since there are are 5 professional baseball teams in California...we don't lack for baseball. Chet enjoys hitting balls with Finn and Dad at the park and on the beach...maybe he is headed that way as well.
