Climbing Trees

We had a big weekend. On Saturday, we went to the International Arborist Convention at the UH Manoa campus. They had competitive tree climbing finalists from all around the world competing there. They were actually climbing a bunch of the trees on campus. It was really cool. But the coolest thing was the "Fun Climb" they had set up on one of the monkey pod trees. Indy and Eric got all geared up and got to climb! Indy LOVED it as you can see from her BIG SMILE in the photo above. She was up about 20 feet in the air and wasn't scared at all! Like father like daughter. So awesome.

Last night we had dinner over at Peggy's house with Briar, Makena, Jen, Jade, Cian, and all of us. Marvel was on shift. Briar made fajitas - yum! Peggy had fun watching Makena read to the girls. See other photo above.

At the end of the night I found Cola with her whole head in the sour cream container. In fact, earlier in the evening I found her licking a bowl of potato chips on the porch. I moved it inside and forgot about it. I came out a few minutes later from the kitchen to find Eric eating the chips! He wasn't too pleased when I told him what I knew. And he didn't find it all at funny when I asked if he thought they were "low-sodium" when he was eating them.

I'm home today since Sawyer is a bit sick. He was up with fever all last night. He's doing better, but he's a little opihi. Lehua gave me an update by phone. She said that Cory was there this morning checking the cuff issues. They fixed the port, so now they are doing a 48 hour air leak test. NO ONE is to touch the cuff over the next 48 hours. Dr. Davis will discuss the issue with Peggy at tomorrow's doc visit. As we've said before, he doesn't want to change the trach unnecessarily since it will cause a lot of trauma.
