Riding Bucket: Pupukea, Oahu
August 28, 2011 | Filed Under Baby, Children, Events | Comments Off on Riding Bucket: Pupukea, Oahu
Our summer was filled with trips up to Pupukea to ride our horse, Bucket. He is the smallest little pony I’ve ever seen. Smart and spirited, he entertained the kids so much, especially when they brought treats to feed him. Now that school has started, our horse rides are fewer and fewer so I thought I’d post a few of my favorite memories of riding Bucket.
My kids really get a kick out of feeding Bucket the apples. The juice squirts all over the place and they just laugh. It is so messy!
It’s always a special treat when we can bring friends with us. These sweet girls had quite the birthday surprise when they arrived to find they would be horseback riding for the day!
I will wait my turn
Molly is Bucket’s trainer and has been working with him for the last 3 years. She is amazing!
We were so amused by this road sign we saw one day while driving up to Pupukea.

Today you turn 5
Happy Birthday my little superhero!
I love you
After our mask decorating workshop, each little superhero was ready to receive a super cape…because every kid should be a hero for at least one day.
Our superhero photo booth was the hit of the party! As the kids jumped off a mini trampoline, they flew through the air across the cartoon cityscape.
the girls…
love how much air all the kids caught! they were really flying!
my SUPER birthday boy!
Little Lifeguards: Concessions

While surfing at Concessions off Ala Moana one evening, we switched off and took turns watching the kids. They were so cute climbing all over the lifeguard tower! I was so glad I had my camera with me so I could capture these cute images. I absolutely love the darling little Rip Curl outfits! Too cute.
All Smiles: A Birthday Beach Party

We had amazing weather at Baby Makapu Beach for Pepper’s birthday party. It was a great day for taking photos with soft, diffused light making sweet, creamy images all over the place. The best part was Pepper’s unwavering smile. She was so happy at the beach the entire time! I love to see her so happy!

I love that silly tongue…so cute!
her first taste of sweets…
why do we have this tradition? common sense tells me we really don’t need to force our children to eat sweets…and yet we think it’s so fun
Pepper Turns One Year: Baby photographer Kailua

Pepper turned one year old last month! She is walking like a mad woman (literally, she walks like Frankenstein) and screams about something every 5 seconds:) Our household officially has a new little monster (it was previously Brent, but he has moved on to become Mr. Awesome!) Still, we love her like crazy. I thought it appropriate to take a look back at Pep’s first year… in pictures.
