after spending a few days at the mellow beach that we could just walk to, we decided we were ready for a little more surf. the small waves at kamoale 2 were perfect for the kids, but we thought it would be fun for the adults to play a bit as well. i have great memories of spending all day at big beach body surfing with my brother and sisters when i was a teenager, but the waves certainly take a bit of getting used to. some of them come in with a vengeance.

some of the braver ones in my family. grandma went right out and took a few grandkids in life jackets. they loved it, but it was a little scary as a mom to see your child out there. i think everyone in my family has a story of getting stuck in a wave here, we call it getting stuck in the washing machine. you get rather tossed about.

or maybe he is looking for quack quacks.

coop and aaron
i had to take a picture of all the sand that was in aaron’s hair after he got taken out by a big beach wave.
unfortunately this picture is pretty sad. shae and adam were out in the water with boogie boards, when a huge wave hit. they tried to jump on the boards and ride it, but shae ended up getting slammed into the sand and hurting his neck pretty badly. we are so grateful it wasn’t worse, but it was certainly a bummer to get hurt a few days into his trip to hawaii. he certainly had to take it easy and not do many activities afterwords:(
the girls making some art in the sand. they had to try really hard to keep coop away. all he wanted to do was run through it and destroy everything.
