Pumpkin Patch 2014

Aloha! We made it to the pumpkin patch this year! Last year Rachel, Brady, and I got a flat tire on the way to Waimanalo to visit the pumpkin patch. We ended up hanging out at a driving range and drinking beer waiting for the tow truck to come give us a hand. To this day Brady swears that the east side of the island is bad news for his tires. 

This year we stayed on the west side and went to Aloun Farms in Kapolei. We also went with Kyle, Brittany, and Penelope. It was so fun! Brittany has this gorgeous camera and took these shots of Brady and I. I'm so pleased that I have to dedicate this whole post to them. I'll give you more shots from the Aloun Farm festivities but for now enjoy these shots of my love and I.  They really capture our personalities without us even trying. I love them and Brady's 'I hate taking pictures' smirk. You can even see the progress they have done on the new railway. 

See guys, there is fall in Hawaii! You just have to make the most of it with your sundresses and flip flops at the pumpkin patch! I'm still raking up the plumerias from my tree and the sun is setting a whole hour earlier. I am however still sweating from the heat and enjoying the sunsets at the beach. Thanks for reading and I'll check in again soon. Happy Fall!

Hi Ho Flossie and Snorkeling in Ko Olina

All is well on Oahu! We woke to rain both yesterday and today. Other than light rain and a little thunder, we are doing great. No flooding in our area, wind blown debris, or anything like that. The worst thing that I've noticed at our house was the rain puddles on our linoleum because I didn't shut the sliding glass doors when we went to bed last night. The sun is shining and the birds are chirping.

 Throughout this week, I'll dedicate each fun event from our stay- cation with a blog post, so make sure you stay tuned.

I've been dying to go out and buy a snorkel kit so I can go whenever I want. Our first day of trying out the new gear was down in Ko Olina. Ko Olina is a big resort area in Kapolei just 20 minutes from us. It has 4 man made lagoons surrounded by the Marriott Resort, Aulani Disney Resort, Time shares, and a few others.

We found parking at the third lagoon although I've heard the fourth lagoon has the best fish! The water was a little cloudy as was the sky but we had fun. I didn't take any photos in the water but we took a few on the beach. Brady taught me how to dive down with all my gear on. How did I never know how to do that before is beyond me. Anyway, here's our snorkel day!

Probably the BEST book I've read in a while. I'm not even into the apocalyptic scenarios in books, shows, whatever but I really recommend this book. 

He HATES when I take the candid photo. Something I'm praying he gets over! ;)

Thanks for reading, next post I'll write about our radio/ record player obsession.

Aloha, Erin
