Flowers & Birds

Two of Ava's favorite things on vacation were picking flowers and chasing birds. There were thousands of little yellow flowers all around our condo that Ava loved to pick. Whenever we went outside she had to have at least one flower per hand and often more. One time Ava went out with her Nona and came back with a cup full of yellow flowers. Ava was so proud of her find.
There were also birds all over the island and especially around the condos. Ava enjoyed greeting the birds in the morning and saying goodbye to them as we left for our adventures. She was the only one that enjoyed all the roosters and didn't complain about their cockle-doodle-dooing in the morning. Ava tried to make friends with them and couldn't figure out why they kept running away from her.

Bob- everytime we saw a rooster we thought of you and were a little more protective of Ava.

Ezra loves chasing birds too. How nice that they were right outside of your condo for her to chase. Sorry about the rooster. Bob HATES roosters, but mostly from them waking him on his mission, not his traumatic childhood experience.

Ian was like that and still is today. Whenever he see's a bird he runs after it. Maybe they will be the same way. lol

I love that first picture of her. She just looks so at ease and happy. It looks like she had a lot of fun.

Rachel and Nathan haven't quite outgrown their love of chasing birds. I will never forget last year in San Francisco Steve telling Rachel there was no way she could catch one of the pigeons milling about. Well, the surest way to get Rachel to do something is to tell her she can't. Sure enough, there she was holding one.
This reminded me of our Bowling family trips to Hawaii and watching Bob chase birds on the beach. (I think I was too lazy to her chase birds.)
