hawaii…first day at the beach

because we were on the wrong time zone, and the REALLY loud birds woke us up, we were all up and ready to head across the street to the beach at 7 am.  it was such a beautiful day.

grandpa, aaron, and coop.  he was pretty afraid of the waves and the airplanes.  it took us a while to get him warmed up to the beach.

grandma is always one of the first to head out swimming, she is brave and heads out where it is deep.  the grandkids seemed to always follow her out:)

Finally a blog post about Hawaii. That sister of yours is such a slacker ;) Looks like a fabulous time (and when did your girls become so old. So grown up and beautiful.)

I was just as excited as the grandkids that first day at the beach. Dad and I had a blast with all the family. We are so glad that everything worked out so our whole family could spend that time together. I wish we could have stayed longer, the time went too fast.
