Mindy's Non-Adventures

Here's the newest update on us. Last Thursday I started packing up our things so that we could move on Saturday. Yes, you read that right. I gave myself 2 days to pack up our household. I live life to the extreme, remember?  Friday, I drove the kids up to the grandparents' (about a 2.5 hour drive). Saturday, 4 friends came over and helped finish packing, loaded everything onto the moving truck, and then moved everything into our new apartment. They were amazing, and we couldn't have made it without them! Sunday, I drove back to the grandparents' to bring the kids home. Obviously, little to no unpacking happened on Sunday.     OH, I almost forgot why I got a late start driving up to get the kids!  So, Mr. Incredible, an intelligent, mechanically minded man, put the washing machine drain hose into the wrong hole. I'm not sure why there were two...anyway. You can imagine what happened. Water E.V.E.R.Y.W.H.E.R.E! All over the laundry room, spilling into the hallway...

Pictures from Maui! Enjoy!     Alii Kula Lavender Farm   The one above is my absolute favorite picture!   These flowers didn't even look real. They're black and plastic looking. Hike to Twin Falls  A coconut tree!   Ginger flower   The first of Twin Falls.    Joanna and me! The other fall at Twin Falls. The water was low that day if you can't tell. H o'okipa Beach   We kept seeing a couple of sea turtles in these waves just hanging out in the water. I love how you can see the way the lava flowed before cooling to rock.   My first steps in the Pacific Ocean! Kamehameha III or Kam 3 for short I'd just finished snorkeling for the first time! Tide Pools I found a sea cucumber! I was so excited! Here I am actually touching the sea cucumber.  Sea Cucumber again. I was fascinated. :) This pool was teeming with sea urchins.     Lahaina The view from our table at Lahaina Pizz...
