Hawaii - October 17

We loved the beach so much that we wanted to go back. I mean, we were in Hawaii after all! We wanted more fun in the Sun. We packed up that morning and headed out for some more play time! My sister took us to Ko Olina Beach, one of her favorites, because it's usually not very crowded, and what I'd say is just plain beautiful. The Lagoons they created are perfect for swimming and you can still enjoy the splashing of waves just beyond the rocks. A big thanks to my dad for helping capture many of our special moments in Hawaii. As much as I tried to keep the camera handy, there's not much you can do when you're in the water.

Both Brianna and Carl were a little timid at first but really had a fun time. Since Carl got a taste of the first beach, it was only right that he tasted the new sand too! He always seemed to sneak some in his mouth whenever I blinked. He is fast. We playing in the water and on land. Thankfully they had rinse of showers to help get the majority of the sand off before getting dressed again.

Later in our trip, we went out in search of the Lost beach. Little did my dad know, what a perfect precursor picture he took!

Even Baby Kat and my sister got in on the fun. We were so glad we got to do so much together. After all, she is the reason we made the trip!

And just Carl being Carl!

 After swimming, we went home for lunch and naps. Then once again, we played outside in the backyard. If Carl wanted to play outside, he had to close the screen door. He got pretty proficient in closing that door. It didn't take him very long!
