Happy Winter Solstice

My sister has come to town for the holidays. We've had a wonderful visit so far (day 2). We hiked yesterday, walked on the beach today at sunset and are having a very merry, enjoyable time. It is my first non-Mele Kalikimaka and I'll be missing Maui and the rest of my fam--but in the meanwhile we're having a blast:

Jumping for joy:

Tightrope walking:

Some friendly fellows invited us to try out their equipment. It is great to remember that trying new things makes you feel alive.

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Solstice, Kwanzaa or whatever makes you Merry!
