2012 Week 5 - January 29 - February 4

Week 5 - January 29 - February 4, 2012

What a busy week that was! We started out with Dean's friend Cole's birthday party Sunday morning followed by the Maui Pops Orchestra Sunday afternoon.

 We took Dean to the Maui Pops Orchestra for the first time Sunday afternoon for their performance of Gershwin and Broadway hits with special guest pianist Hyperion Night. Dean loved it, but ended up falling asleep and missing about half of it. It turned out he was sick. He had a fever and cough for two days and was very upset to have to miss school and gymnastics. But he was back to himself and normal activities by Tuesday.

On Saturday Dean participated in the 2k Keiki Run portion of the Pacific Whale Foundation's Run for the Whales! We had to get up and drive to Makena at 6:30 in the morning. On our way out there I said it was too early to do anything on a Saturday and Joel said "but it's never too early to save the whales". Dean said in a bleary voice from the back seat "running doesn't save whales". Joel and I just looked at each other and I said "Well, but the race raises awareness and money, which the whales need". Dean said "Whales can't use money". I had no comeback.

After the race, we took Dean to Orangeleaf for some yummy frozen yogurt to celebrate his yard work.

And here's a couple views of the photos and journaling in my Project Life Album for Week 5:
