Summer 2017


We spent the first half of summer in Hawaii. 

We've come a long way and  learned a lot about playing in and on the ocean.




Had a pretty epic fathers day on our sweet Kaimana


And joy of joys, our BFFs from California came to visit!
We played and played and enjoyed every minute of their company.






July came and we hit the sky! 
Off to the Adirondack Mountains and our Grammy & Grampy.


Camila loves to go fishing.


 This is the view from Olivia's favorite spot.

my favorite view 


Cat mountain hike with Jack and Francesca


And another fun filled week with the Stolzenberg family and all these adventure-loving big kids.














another favorite spot

new diving skills

my favorite gap-tooth smile

missing my mate at the Bear mountain lookout 
where he proposed our marriage 27 years before.

 And the very best part of every summer:
sharing love and family time
with these wonderful humans! 


One of this summer's lessons was about being connected to people in lots of different places.
We had California friends visit us in June 
and NYS cousins in August.
We love sharing our time at the lake house with family and friends.
AND spent time with our first Hawai'i friends
 at the Sciencenter in Ithaca, NY


And we were rescued by old Costa Rica/kiteboarding friends
when I missed our flight in Boston


I love that O & C are experiencing this connectedness.

Recap: Early 2017


Early 2017

One weekend we are cruising Waikiki at Sunset, next we are walking on a frozen lake in upstate NY. Our life is such a splendid adventure! 






... and... back to the beach. 
(Thank you Mrs. Oliver for the great mittens!)




Sailing adventures



more new things: 
soccer, grapefruit, emotional highs and lows






wrapped up another good school year 
with academic achievements, good friends and good teachers.
