Medical Crisis Averted

Well, we had a bit of a scare lately.  Babies seemed very anemic--something just not right.  One simple blood test later and...we learned they had a low HWC.  Eh?  I.e. their historical walk count was low--as you may recall, it's been a while since a daddyandlittlepeople expedition has been organized.  This time our destination was 4630 Naniloa Drive.  Eh?  Go here: Hofmann--Wikipedia and read section 3.  We went to the former home of the Sheets family.  I've long been fascinated with the Mark Hofmann fiasco--if you've never read Salamander (Sillitoe/Roberts), do yourself a favor and check it out.

Our first pit-stop: why does this neighborhood hate Jim's team from the beach games so much?
This is a shot looking down the driveway.
Little people soaking in the history.
Praps the most important part of any HW is the hydration--before we leave, we have a serious meeting in which each participant commits themselves to proper hydration techniques.  Without that commitment, we don't roll out.

:) Just in time. I'm glad they pulled through! I was thinking, "Oh no! What's HWC?"

So Heidi posted that, and this, not Scott.

Yeah, sure--Scott used a girly smiley face and is trying to cover his tracks. Not buying it, not for one minute...
