More Hawaii!

Sorting rambutans on the farm

Best helper ever.

Reconstructing the rock wall for Grandad

"Mom!  Don't leave me!!"

Must be in contact with mom.  Always.

Well Grandad, first we need to go pick some rambutans, then set some pig traps, and then take an afternoon nap.

Driving lessons.  The sign warns against drivers <16 yrs; Roc took that to mean <16 months.

Gator farm tours.

Ear protection when operating heavy machinery.

Looking dapper after his bucket bath.

Notice that his hands are full of snacks.  Always.  Or rocks.

I guess we kind of look related.

The Wells Family

White pineapples bigger than Roc's head.

Is that bird up there?

Woah.....Hawaii is amazing!

Roc digs for rocks while Granny heads out to snorkle.

Everyone needs cuddles.

Dad, look!  There are more rocks over there!

Bucket hot tub bath

Bug....bug....BUG!!!

Anyone who has spent time on the lanai at Endeauvour Orchard knows that Grandad is a bit obsessed with ridding the area of all bugs/ geckos/ spiders/ etc.    You will be relieved to know that Roc has showed his worth as an extremely good bug spotter and is very dedicated to keeping the lanai in tip-top shape.  

Aloooooohhhaaaa!

We haven't done anything exciting or noteworthy in the past 3 months so we haven't had to update Roc's blog.  Luckily we are in Hawaii now visiting the Grandparents and have lots of photos to share.  

You'll notice a theme:  Roc is either very covered up or very naked.  

John explaining the geology of the area while sitting in a tide pool at Meinini Beach.

Roc concentrating on throwing lots of rocks into the ocean.   This kids LOVES his rocks!

Granny, Roc and John in the 'bathtub' at the beach.  John has his lava camo on so he is hard to see.

Roc taking puppy for a walk up the driveway.

Checking out the Endeavour Orchard grounds.

Outdoor bathing!

Roc has 3 bathtubs in Hawaii.  That is what happens when you are the only Grandchild.

Again, lots of bucket time.

Roc = Pohaku

Checking out the Koi fish at Aunt Jane's clothing optional pool.

"Fissss!"

I love the beach!!  And my mom!!  When she is around I must be attached to her!

Swings with a view.

Ahoy!

I only eat my tropical fruit smoothies from a silver spoon hand-fed to me by my Granny on the Lanai.

Backyard

Roc loves his new grassy backyard! 

Visitors!

We love visitors!!  Last weekend Erin, Adrien, and Tanya - three best friends from our childhood- came for a girl's weekend in Park City.  It was a wonderful reunion with lots of laughter and reminiscing!  Their visit was followed closely by a visit from Aunt Mary Jo. Roc got to show her around the Aviary & park and read stories with her.  It was a wonderful weekend!

Group selfie!

Shopping in Park City.

Bathrobes, beverages, and Mormon indoctrination. 

Porch time with Aunt Mary Jo!

Ready for the park.

1 binkie in his mouth, one on deck.  3 new teeth this weekend!

Easter desert weekend!

Rocs school was closed for a 4-day Easter weekend so we decided to take the opportunity to head to the desert.  Rocs good buddy, Eli, and his parents joined us for one night.  It was a very relaxing, despite Roc projectile vomiting all over his car seat on the way down- and some grumpiness from teething!

My desert lizard!!

Mornings are cold in the desert. 

He reminds me of the kid from A Christmas Story in this photo..

Plaid hiking buddies! 

The Mullin family negotiating a technical part of the trail as a team.

Never far from mom- especially when teething and kind of grumpy (but also very snugly!)
