Ben and Emily's dance recital was this morning. Ben is in the black "leather" jacket on the far left. Emily wasn't on the stage in the beginning, but she is in polka dots when she comes out. Why, oh why, can't they put my kids on the same portion of the stage so I can video them both at once. I was able to video him or her most of the time although occasionally I got each of them at the far end of the screen at the same time. I ordered an official video of the performance, so hopefully I'll have a better copy in a few weeks.
Ben went camping with his youth group this weekend. He said it was the best weekend he's had since we've been in Hawaii, and possibly in his entire life. The one negative part was that he stepped on some coral out in the water and cut his feet up pretty good. He swears it was all dead coral - you shouldn't touch live coral, much less walk on it because it damages the coral. No one ever mentions that it also damages your feet. They just tell you not to damage the coral. Also, coral is a living organism . If you step on live coral and a tiny piece breaks off in the cut, it will continue to grow. Did you see the movie Alien ? If some creature incubates in Ben's feet, then breaks out and eats us all one night, I'm going to be quite miffed. (Make sure you read the inscription on his tee shirt in this picture. It's quite appropriate.)
