This should have been at the end of the post, but I guess my editing skills are lacking as after 4 or 5 tries to cut, paste, move, etc... it wouldn't work for me. Anyhow this was the oyster gash and he took his hydrogen peroxide like a man! Probably better than I would have at 25...
This is a shot of the boys and I riding through the City Park where we go on a daily basis to swim in the Gulf or play on the new playground equipment and sometimes both! A reporter here in town took this photo during the Clamerica Celebration on the 4th of July. Cedar Key is the Nations #1 producer of farm raised clams, hence the name "Clamerica."
Saia and Lani love riding in the tow stroller and pretending they are fishing. Big thanks to www.craigslist.com for the stroller/trailer as it has been a great $50 investment... maybe the best ever!? The boys think so!
Obviously no real waves here, so it is pretty safe with the boys swimming in the shallow swimming area. They love the water and Saia is my fish as he is fearless and will swim anywhere with his life vest on. Keilani is a bit more careful around the water, which is good for me. I don't know if I could keep up with them if they were both as carefree as Saia is in the water.
They are both super coordinated and love to play ball, of any kind. I think Lani will be the basketball player though and Saia who knows. He loves it all, from volleyball like his mommy, to baseball and soccer. Just NO RUGBY... sorry Papa Tonga.
I didn't realize as I was desperately trying to get Saia to look at me that he had a gash in his leg and that's why he wasn't looking. He managed this much of a pose before I came to him and saw the blood. He must have landed on an oyster shell! They are both extremely tough little boys!!
