Homework at the Beach

On Tuesday we were going to go to the farmer's market, but had some time to kill between school and the farmer's market opening, so we decided to go to the beach to do Addison's homework while we waited. Addison finished his homework and started playing in the water and, of course, the farmer's market was forgotten. He started out practicing his Karate Kid crane technique in the water with the strict warning that he was not to get his clothes wet because he had nothing to change into. Yeah, right. One big wave was all it took to get him drenched and then he was jumping in and under the waves. While we were there, four or five jellyfish washed up onto the beach. It was really cool to see them. I never have before. A woman at the beach told us that every once in a while thousands of jellyfish will wash up, and apparently now is one of those times.

Singing at the Mall

Last week was National Family Week (or something like that)and the stake primary here sings at the festivities that they have at the mall every year. First all of the primary children sang and then the Tongan branch that meets in our building had a choir that sang. It was so awesome! The missionaries were there and lots of people stopped to listen to both the primary kids and the Tongan branch. The primary kids were, of course, darling and did a great job, but you should have heard the Tongan branch choir. They were amazing! They sang hymns acapella in Tongan and it was really incredible.

Running Trail

This is one of the trails I run. It's so pretty! What do you think, Dean and Erin?
