To kick off the new school year we decided to throw a Back-to-School hot-dog BBQ and Benediction and invited the other three families in our neighborhood. The kids had fun playing together in their favorite Banyan tree followed by some rowdy fun in the pool.
Hoping for a cloudless night
Found a neat website that allows you to track the current location of the International Space Station and see what it’s view of the earth might be like.
iss.astroviewer.net
Also, you can find out when you can actually see the ISS overhead by plugging in your current location on NASA’s website.

Just go to the blue “connect to mission” box on the lower left and click the orange “station sightings” button.
There should be a 2 minute window tonight and a 4 minute window tomorrow night when we can see the ISS cross over Kona. Unfortunately we’ve had a lot of patchy clouds lately, which makes for some great sunsets, but not very good star-gazing.
A Celestial Snack
The Starfruit tree in front of our place is brimming right now so the boys have been enjoying a “celestial snack” everyday.
