A wave

I came out to the beach for a second this morning before the day started; it's nice just to enjoy the whole environment.  So here's one wave for y'all... I think it's cool how the water goes out before the next comes in... it's soothing.

Sunset

Just another nice sunset for your enjoyment.

Church Music

This is the small boom box we use at church for music.

New Plates

Don't ask me: Lynnette wanted to take pictures of this event for some reason.

Road to the school

It's a nice little drive, isn't it?  But the road is a dirt road, with huge channels due to the runoff from rain.  A little good with a little bad.

Frog

Here's a little frog, about the size of my hand, climbing up our wall.  He's so cute!  I don't understand why Lynnette doesn't want to touch him.

Let them in.

So this is a cool example of a kind of community spirit that has made its way into the culture here: this truck driver has the right-of-way, but he has stopped to let me go.  And typically they will give a quick honk to let you know that they're letting you in, and then the polite thing is to honk back for "thanks".  Often you'll give two quick honks.  So you hear these honks all the time as you're driving... and that's a good thing.  :-)

Homes for Hermit Crabs

Yep... Legos and hermit crabs... you remember playing with those together as a child, right?

Mini-Dolittle

Well, this was bound to happen wherever we live, but it does seem like there are a lot more animals roaming around here than most other places... so here is our resident animal-lover surrounded by a bunch of the species down here at our neighbor's home.  (The cat was above having her picture taken, of course.)

Iguana!

I saw my first iguana today with the boys.  Big!  It's a veritable wildlife refuge around here.

Special Accommodations

Tonight is the priesthood session of the LDS General Conference, which can only be seen in chapels with satellite... unless you're in a remote area where your church satellite is broken and so you get a special link on the internet so that you can watch in someone's home.

Oh, and we get to eat and drink while watching.

:-)

Path to the ocean

Here's our little path to the ocean.

I took this after I cut away a bunch of the overgrowth.  The second picture is me raking the leaves... yes, by kicking them... it's not like you can really rake the rocks.
