Enjoying Hawaii

Today the boys and I walked the 4 blocks up to the mini mart after lunch. It was beautiful out. On that walk we can see the mountains in front of us and behind us and walk next to beautiful palm trees that line the streets. After we got home I heard Landon saying "geck-o, geck-o" and Ashton said, "mama come look at something!" so I got Thea out of the stroller and walked to the bush they were looking at. There was a 3 horned camelion moving quickly up the branches. We talked about how easily they get scared and stayed very quiet. The camelion didn't hold Landon's attention for long because a big male peacock (complete with a loooong tail) was right accross the yard begging to be chased by the boys. Weren't the boys suprised when it turned around and started coming towards them!! Ashton said, "it's not gonna get me! I'm running fast!" and took off for the porch. Poor landon was trying to run with his thumb in his mouth and tripped over a stick trying to get up to mama and away from the peacock that had turned his way. We came inside and sat down to read a book only to look up and see Mr. Peacock at our screen door hoping for some scraps. What an experience it has been to live here!!!
