passports, parks and diamond head

This week, we ordered a passport for Kaden.
Not sure if we'll actually get to put it to use, but we're hoping (fingers crossed!!) that Kaden and I will get to tag along with Mitch on one of his trips to Japan this summer.
I'll be sure to keep you all posted if we do!
So, just in case...we got a passport.

And here's the photo (pre-cropping, of course)

This week was Anna and Jolee's last day of preschool with Mrs. Neill.
And since Jolee's birthday lands during the summer, Jolee got her birthday balloon early!

And then it was off to the park to run around.
Or...hang around too, I guess.

Anna...since she can't quite navigate the monkey bars from the bottom, she crawled on top.

Kaden...just hangin' out with Daddy in the shade.
Sucking his fingers.

And Jolee on the slide. Which, for some strange reason, she has been unable to slide down by herself lately.
Not sure where all this fear is coming from, but we're finding that Jojo has become afraid of quite a lot of things as of late.
(ie: dogs, slides, jungle gym bridges...etc. Hopefully, she'll outgrow her fear of everything soon...although, preferably AFTER she outgrows her innate clumsiness...)

And on this particularly day, we headed out to Magic Island near Ala Moana to go walking and enjoy the beautiful weather. The day was just too gorgeous to pass up!
Along with a photo op with Diamond Head in the background.

I'm pretty sure she's posing here...

While Kaden took a nap in the shade...lucky kid!
