Clearing the air

It was really sticky here this weekend--like stand smack dab in front of the fan or find any reason to go sit in the office with the a/c kind of sticky. Getting out of the house often seemed like the best option so various combinations of us went on bike rides, walks to the beach or congregated by the pool. Scott tried out the bike trailer for the first time, taking Jake on a tour of Kailua. I think he became a convert to the trailer's genius, stashing groceries and other errand paraphernalia behind Jake's seat while exploring the "bike trails" of the local streets.

We also got to know the neighbors a bit better on the beach, helping them throw an enormous stick for cosmo and watching him franticly pull it from the waves or dig it out from the sand.

And Saturday, after riding the bike with Finn to Safeway to get potato chips, vodka and beer, I made my new favorite burgers (pesto, onion, garlic tomato and mozzarella cheese) and probably made a number of people at the grocery store shake their heads in dismay.

Generally, it was a great weekend. We explored, made friends with local dogs, ate well and got judged.
