Winding Down

It can probably go without saying that we've been busy doing the usual fun stuff that we do when we have company . . . here's a quick rundown:

1. Friday--last play group, picked up my dad at the airport, last swimming lesson for this session (start a new session on the 28th)
2. Saturday--spent the day downtown at the Hale Koa Pool, had lunch at the Cheesecake Factory (one of my favs!), hung out at Waikiki Beach, Charley fed some squid to the turtles at the Hilton Hawaiian Village
3. Sunday--Brian had to work, dad started weeding the back of our property, ran to Home Depot, hung some swings up for the kids
4. Monday--dad finished the weeding, spent the afternoon at Pearl Harbor, Brian had to fly at midnight (top secret missions :))
5. Tuesday--spent the morning at the beach while Brian slept in, then drove up the leeward (west) side of the island in the afternoon
6. Today--spent the morning at the zoo, now resting up!

I think we are just going to take it easy for the rest of the day since we are all worn out from the zoo, and on top of that, my dad hasn't been feeling all that well . . . he's either caught a cold or his having a bad reaction to all this vog in the air. Tomorrow is our last full day with him here, and then he heads home on Friday. Brian had to take off this morning for an overnight mission to an island in the middle of nowhere, but hopefully he will be back tomorrow evening. I guess that about covers the nitty gritty over here. . . and I think this is about the shortest post covering five days that I've ever written!
