Beach Days sums up how we spent our summer. We never had any real big swell this summer so no double overhead waves or anything, but plenty good time for Kaipo to learn surfing. Keala is finding the beach our second home, she does fall asleep in her carseat for nap, hey whatever works!! Kaipo is progressing really good, for being afraid of the ocean for so long, It's so fun to see him get excited and happy to know we are going "surfing again!"

Well here is some proof that I am out there surfing! I still suck, but it is still fun, so I will keep doing it! It is by far the hardest sport I've attempted, but the most fun I've had, and learning to surf here in Hawaii is really something else. The water has been really warm and all the rainbows in the mountains when your in the ocean, make for beautiful scenery..

I did get Sid an underwater camera, we have to take it out to get some close up action shots!

The beautiful sunset from our deck a couple weeks ago. Summertime sunsets are simply amazing. I am hoping to get a new camera soon and possibly win some contests with some shots I get. They are breathetaking around here....




Keala and mommy got to get away for the Memorial weekend to spend some time with Uncle Mike and family. Michael's birthday was May 31st so it was a great time to visit. Keala mastered the stairs while we were there and you can see there were a lot to practice on...

Quite the little artist.. I think we are going to have to get one of these magna doodle things... save my walls from crayon damage.

I just love Keala's face in these shots! She LOVED hanging out with her cousins

Michael had mixed feelings about the candles. He loves fire, but he was not sure why the candles kept lighting themselves.

Playing with one of his birthday gifts..

The weather was absolutly beautiful the days I was there. We made it to the beach two days and had quality time hanging out. This is Ko'olina lagoons about 15 minutes from Mikes house. I told Lauren she was so lucky to live that close to these pools. And on the way here we passed Wet n Wild water park, which is 10 minutes from Mikes house!! I say they did good house hunting!
