the great outdoors

Like most toddlers, Tristan is most content outside. He could wander around and explore for hours. Two weekends ago we went to the Big Island for a visit and spent most of our time in their great big yard. Tristan could get lost in this yard! My dream is to have a big yard one day, to let this wild animal loose. We have a little yard but since we are higher up in the Valley, our yard slopes, and it's really scary. Tristan plays in it sometimes but I'm always afraid that he's just going to roll right down it and get hurt. Until I get my big yard, we do parks and the beaches.

Skateboarding with Dad. He is ready and focused.

So happy. Life couldn't get any better than this.

"Dad, you blow my mind! you are so good!!"

Little stinker. You can tell by this picture that he rules our lives.
