Yes, I've been an absentee blogger as of late. I think that's a good sign. It's a result of us hitting our stride here in Hawaii which I feel like we hit at about a month in. We have our routines. Our fave local eating spots. A church we love. We know our way around. We add in a new adventure each week and of course venture out of the city every weekend.
Bellows Beach. The winward side. Beautiful white sand. Big waves. The kids are not big fans. |
Of the MANY cute bathing suit options at Wally World back home... Ariella chose the giraffe with sunglasses. A lesson in letting go for this type A mom. |
A fun sea urchin find at Magic Island. We've learned which ones you can touch and which you can't. |
Josiah wont look at the camera. Don't worry, he's not drowning. |
The super cool thing about Hawaii is that all beaches are public. Even if there is a resort or something on it, it still has to be open to the public. We could go to a different beach each day and never hit the same one.
Ala Moana park just a short jaunt away |
Josiah is much more of a "play in the sand" kind of kid. He enjoys the water in short stints |
Man made Lagoon the kids prefer just across the street at the Hilton |
This is our "everyday" beach. Its right across the street. That's diamond head in the background. We swam with sea turtles twice right off this beach! |
She's really starting to look the part. |
