Hawaii Day 14: Mele Kalikimaka

After exchanging a few small gifts and eating CJ's delish cinnamon rolls, we loaded up enough gear to last us a month and headed to the beach! The waves were huge and I was on diligent lifeguard duty as Grant, Cadie, Anna, and Eric got tossed by the ways. Samuel retreated after getting tossed a time or two and Ranger mostly stayed near the shore and body boarded.

We set up a camp that kinda looked like we were permanently planning to reside at the beach. I think Colton's favorite part of the beach day was sitting on a beach chair wrapped up in a towel being fed by Nina. I think he ate about 10 Hawaiian role turkey sandwiches. Samuel and JR had the best time playing with a beach ball in the waves and then burying themselves in the sand. They would throw the beach ball out into the ocean and then watch the waves wash it back up to the beach. Cadie's favorite part was wave jumping with Grant.

There were some silly young girls posing and taking pics of each other in some rocks on the beach. Grant and Nathan obviously had to recreate the scene which resulted in some wonderful pics of Nathan. Feel free to reprint and frame them for your own enjoyment at home.
