Noodle Eating 101

The boys had ramen for dinner and it was quite entertaining watching them eat. 

Cruz's technique: blow profusely to cool down, hold noodles up to examine the amount of steam coming off, then slurrrppp!

Lucas' technique: start with a fork. If that isn't fast enough, use hands and take it to the face. 

Growing boys!

Home Away From Home

Here we are again in beautiful Maui! Anyone who knows us, knows that this is our Hawaiian island of choice and we visit almost every year. This will be Cruz's 4th trip to HI and Lucas' 2nd. This time we are combining business with pleasure: Randy is attending a medical conference and the family is coming along for the ride. And while we normally stay in a condo, this time we are staying at the beautiful Grand Wailea Hotel, since thats where the conference is being held. What a deal!

Since we come here often we have reached a point where we've seen and done all the touristy things and have been all over the island now. Now when we come its just pure R&R. 

Pool, eat, sleep, beach, repeat. 

Nihonmachi Street Fair

Today's family outing was the Nihonmachi Street Fair in Japantown (SF). It was a really small affair but we haven't been to Japantown in a long time so it was another good reason to visit. It was a sunny albeit breezy day, and we enjoyed the music and yummy food. It was a pleasant way to spend our Saturday.
