Aloha & Beach Babes

Some more pictures from our big trip! Here we are arriving after a long day, waking up at 430am, two flights, with two great, well-behaved but tired kiddos. My parents had flown in about 1.5 hours before us and had time to get the traditional welcome leis for us.
We got right to work the next day playing on the beach across the street.

My morning routine. It sounds boring but while the little ones were still sleeping off their jet lag, the adults would trickle out onto the lanai with a cup of Kona coffee and watch the going-ons of the beach below. Locals were in the water body surfing and boogie boarding the second it was light enough to see the water. By mid-morning, the only easily accessible white sand beach with waves in the area would be packed and stay that way until sunset. We watched Humpback whales surface, spout, and dive with their babies in the water and I think someone saw dolphins at some point but I never did until we went on our deep sea fishing trip.

One day while my parents were out snorkeling and our beach has dissapeared (more on that later), we took to kids to a small, calm beach near the pier in town so they could frolic there. Both of them loved climbing on the lava rocks and playing in the tide pools.
