January in Oahu | Backyard Adventures

Our backyard glows with a soft light as the sun dips below the Koolaus. I love this time of day and often take the kids for an evening paddle along the canal to peak at the ocean and search for sea turtles. It’s known as “turtle hour” in our house. We were running short on time this particular day so I sent Micah off for his first solo paddle. He proudly carried his boat down the slippery ramp and launched after a dramatic countdown – “Launching in T-10.9.8.7…” Mila was content to watch from the shore and search for crabs and metallic blue “ladybugs.” “Maybe next time”, she said.
