Life's a beach!

One of our favorite things to do in Hawaii is, of course, going to the beach; mostly because going to the beach in Alaska consists of wearing mud boots and wind breakers instead of flip flops and sun block.  We were able to find a great boogie board beach with beautiful white sand at Hapuna Beach. Because the big island is still relatively new, many of the beaches are rocky and have course sand. Hapuna is awesome, and we enjoyed watching our kids play in the surf. Even Chloee tried boogie boarding a few times. Of course, Dad had to position her just write to hit the wave, but she managed to catch a few "sweet rides" into the beach. 

 

Even Jolee enjoyed being in the surf, as long as I was holding her. Don't mind the blurry spots due to the water on the camera lens.

 This little guy popped up right by our "camp". He ran so fast down the beach, it was hard to get a good shot of him, but Aaron drew a lot of attention from fellow sun bathers watching him chase after this crab.

 

These underwater pics were taken at our house's pool. The kids loved playing with Aaron's camera, almost as much as playing in the pool.
