Hawaii and the beach

On our trip we spent a lot of time at the beach! So here are the pictures from the beach. This first one is the statue at the Mauna Kea resort that we passed on our way to and from the parking lot. The kids loved to stop and see the flowers that people would place in its hands.



Taylor would occassionally freak out with the waves. I would never know when she would get scared. She would just take off running up to the chairs. It was really fun to try and chase her down across the hot sand before she could make it all the way. This time she stopped in a big hole and cried it out.
Ryan had a little spring break friend that got to come with us to Hawaii. It was an assignment to take a picture with it to take back to school to show his class. You will see him pop up occassionally throughout our trip.


The kids loved building sand castles. We spent hours out on the sand with them. For some reason they really liked it when we were active participants. They didn't love playing alone, so much for relaxing in the beach chairs. (That is another trip without kids right?)




I loved this expression!

I really miss Hawaii right now as I am looking out my window watching it snow:) Great pictures! I am glad your kids had a great time on the beach. Hailee and Justin loved the beach in California when we were there in February. I hope you are feeling okay these days.
