Jackson's Eagle Project

 Jackson has been approved to make bat boxes for the Camano Island State Park. He is beginning by cutting out the wood pieces and applying rot-resistant paint.

Then they made the poles for the installation.

They brought digging bars to the park to get deep enough into the ground.

It seems like forever since Jack was only a cub scout. Seven years passes by quickly.

Monroe Quilt Show

 Each year I try to get out to Monroe for their quilt show.  Quilters Anonymous uses the Monroe Fairgrounds and have a lot of room for quilts and vendors. Here are my favorites.

Hawaii

 We took a trip to Oahu for our 25th wedding anniversary. By the time February rolls around each year, I'm ready to find some sun. And there was plenty in Hawaii. We stayed in a wonderful place in Waikiki set up by Paul's mom. I loved being so close to the beach. We loved visiting the Temple and Visitor's Center while we were at the Polynesian Cultural Center.

We visiting the Skinners' ward on Sunday as a surprise.

We hiked Diamond Head and snorkeled in Hanauma Bay.

And then we heard that there was a snowstorm happening back home. The pipes were freezing. Luckily, the kids were able to plug in the heatwrap. Goodness.

We loved kayaking to from Kailua to Mokulua Island.

And we ate malasadas at Leonard's Bakery, at Loco Moco Drive in, at Big City Diner, and the Yard House. Everything was delicious.
