Elephant Ears

So I've got 5 days left here on the island. I apologize for not updating the
blog on a more regular basis, but we've been pretty busy finishing up the flying
schedule and trying to finish all 7 seasons of the Sopranos before we leave. You
can imagine how little time I've had. We decided to go out and try to find this
cave - Ritidian Cave - I've heard it's a cool cave and not too far
away. Along the route we came across these elephant ears. They're my favorite -
I remember growing up having these outside our house in Denton and I planted
some in the backyard while we were living in North Carolina. Cole was only 3 at
the time but he dug up a couple of the bulbs and I got mad at him about
it - I think he was looking for some worms. I've always felt bad about
getting mad at him about digging up the bulbs but really - he's a little
boy, they look for worms and bugs - that's what they do. I'm sure I did the
same thing when I was his age. Either way they grew as advertised into
these huge plants. Ever since then when Cole sees elephant ears he always
brings them to our attention and reminds me of how he got into trouble
digging them up. When I saw these it reminded me of how his
memory is so much better than mine. I can't wait to see them in a week.
