Wind, wind, go away

While most of the Mainland is fighting cold weather, we're fighting wind. A big wind storm was predicted late last night / early morning, so all schools in the state except the Big Island cancelled public schools. My mother-in-law, faithful watcher of the 5, 6, and 10 PM news, called to tell me at 5:30 last night. There's a good chance I otherwise would not have known. So far it's been a non-issue on Oahu. I'm wondering what the fuss is all about, but maybe some other islands are really getting hit.
So on with our vacation posts. Knowing Robbie loves to take pictures, my Mom gave him a Fisher Price camera for Christmas. In theory it's great - they claim it's kid tough (it looks it) and water resistant. But read the fine print and it's only 1.3 megapixels. We also discovered indoor shots are pretty bad and that it works best outside in bright sunlight. Robbie might be a little advanced for it already, but give Cub a few more months and he'll have fun with it. Here is cousin Johnny and Robbie building sandcastles at a Kihei beach.
