Fall was the season for a lot of outdoor activities around the bay area. We also had a chance to go to Hawaii during the Thanksgiving.
I took Renee to the science affair in the city. This was also the first time that Renee rode the BART and MUNI with me.
While I was out studying, Renee and Max were cleaning up the backyard.
They are proud of the work that they have done
Then they went out for a ride in the driveway. I have not run with them for a while.
When I got back, I took them out for a walk. Renee and Max both enjoy being held upside down these days.
We went to Hawaii during the Thanksgiving. Renee and Max did not complain during the five-hour flight, thanks to the portable entertainment center we rented. Speaking of the airline, Hawaiian Airline is by far the worst I have flown in terms of equipment and services. Not exactly recommended.
Max looks just like a cool traveler in that pair of sunglasses. We bought lei flowers for them even though it was not cheap at the hotel.
We went downstairs every day in the morning to feed the fish and watch the penguin. The breakfast was pretty good too. That is a shirt that I bought from the hard rock hotel in Chicago. She was also wearing the slippers that I bought from Brazil.
Max and Renee stayed with their early morning schedule even in Hawaii. While I was sleeping, they will go downstairs with the mom to walk around.
We also visited a local place where there is a huge Banyan tree. We were all amazed at how the whole area can be just one tree.
We took the road to Hana and enjoyed the view. The kids had to suffer through the lack of places for restrooms. When they are able to go out and walk around, they were good sports for hiking. Renee's hat was blown into the pond soon after this picture was taken. I had to retrieve it from the other side.
We enjoyed the great view at the end of the road. Later we learned that this area sometimes can be flooded without much warning.
With some experiments, the kids learned the fun of walking on the sand and chasing after the waves. They even had a taste of big wave as well as the salty water. The only time they cried was when the wind was blowing the sand all over us. To be fair, it did hurt
