Chase is 40 Months Old!

Now I'm old enough to help Nana and Pop put away coasters at the end of craft fairs. I carefully carry them and sort them into the appropriately labeled boxes. Nana says next year I can replace Dad (who you can see is working really hard in the background)...and Dad is ecstatic.

I am pretending to be a viking as we watched "How to Train a Dragon" with Taiga and Aika. This is my serious viking look. Do I look intimidating?

Here we are at the beachhouse in Waianae with the Keanes. Colonel Patrick and Elizabeth are longtime friends of the Halsalls from when Pop was in the Army. They live in Florida now, but come to vacation in Hawai'i before Thanksgiving each year. It is a fun time to see them because they have cool Irish accents (They are originally from Limerick.), and they have all these funny stories to tell.




This year, we tried stand up paddleboarding and here I am standing on my bucket.

Pop and Colonel Keane "tried" to SUP. But they didn't really get the UP part. Mom and Dad were more successful.
They had the best cabin this year, with a big yard and private picnic area that could fit about 30 people, and this hedge surrounding the whole house, with a cutout view of the beach, and a patio bar table set right up to the hedge.



These days, I don't want to sit in my high chair anymore. I am a big boy, so I prefer to make my own table out of these stools. Oh, and I love to eat Vanilla flavored Activia yogurt.
