The font from the grocery pictures is called smiley monster. I downloaded it somewhere, but not sure where?! Okay, so I just googled it and it seems that the place I downloaded it from is now gone. Sorry..
Last night was our monthly crop night at church.It’s always fun to see the ladies and chit chat while our hands are busy. I ended up making a few cards.
First I’ll recap the past few Pictures of the Day.
4.16: Jordan is drawing on his magna doodle. He says, “Mom, I make a human!” He is so funny!
4.17: Jordan running around in the living room with one of his favorite toys, his “lellow ears”.
4.18: another shot of the lellow ears…
This morning Jalen woke me up saying, come on Mom, it’s 5:59! Let’s go downstairs! Okay son. So after we got some biscuits and eggs in our bellies for breakfast (and coffee), we decided to head down to Chinatown/Downtown for a Photo Field trip. Be warned there are a lot of pictures coming. and If you’re on dial up, I’ll apologize in advance. We had a great time walking around this morning. We saw a lot of beautiful old buildings (I so love old buildings) and lots of flavor as I like to call it.
4.19: Jalen and Jordan have really been into the superhero thing these days. When we were downtown, he said, Look Mom, an Alley! I say Okay, let me get a shot of you… when we came home, I said, look jalen.. and he runs down the hallway, Picture of the day, Picture of the Day! funny boy!
SO here are some shots down in Chinatown…. I am wondering if all Chinese shops (like in China) look like this.
some yummy duck…I cropped out the not so yummy stuff in the window.
a cool lion…
Oahu Market. This picture just reminds me of all old time movies in Hawaii…
I love these mail slots in all these old buildings downtown…
I love all the architectural details of these old buildings, they just ooze charm, don’t you think?
and I love the stone buildings!!!
Jalen was my somewhat uninterested model. I’ll need to find another one to drag around.
this was in front of Kumu Kahua Theater. I told Jalen it looked like a cannon to me.
a beautiful Hapu’u Tree Fern in Downtown.
This is Aloha Tower, right across Down town Honolulu:
we rode in this tiny, old elevator to the 10th floor to the observation decks.
Looking out towards the Ocean. this is sand island. where all of our goods come in Matson Containers. If you move to Hawaii, this is where your car gets shipped. this is also where so many other goods come in too…
OKAY, so if you made it this far, bravo! I really need to get to finishing dinner now. I hope you enjoyed our trip around downtown/chinatown. :) I was inspired to take in some local beauty by my friend Noel Culbertson… they did the tulip festival and a while back they did antique stores… and by Candice Stringham who just moved to New York and is capturing some beautiful urban shots. I know that we probably won’t always live in Paradise, so I really want to capture the things I want the boys to remember. Thanks for visiting, and until next time, blog ya later! :)
