Daniel grew up playing in the Kalihiwai River and has many fond memories of his time spent there. It's neat to think that our kids are spending time playing and doing the same things their Daddy did there 25+ years ago! We love Kalihiwai and we smile at the thought of our kids one day looking back on these days with fond memories of their own.

Such a sweet, happy boy!

So Cute!

His sister's keeper...lest she float away! =)
Her first "swim" in the baby floatie! She loved it!

She was so excited to be in the water she was practically climbing out of the floatie!

"Hmm...that looks interesting."

We're so glad that she's had a change of heart regarding time spent in the water! We were worried there for a while!

Shh...don't tell the swim coach that they were "swimming" with a floating device. Apparently in the world of "teaching kids to swim" THAT is a big no-no. And, I know, it's not the cutest shot of Sis but I loved this picture of Aden Boy!

I love my family!

Daniel took Aden out to practice some of the skills that he's been learning in his swim lessons.

Pull, kick, and blow bubbles, pull, kick, and blow bubbles...

I caught him just as he was coming up from going under with Daddy...

Practice makes perfect...or marked improvement, at least!

And, of course, no trip to the beach would be complete without some sand castle building. This is one of the boys' (all three of them!) favorite beach activities. They really get into it and they have such a good time together.

Building sand towers takes focused concentration!

And of course, it is ALWAYS fun when Grandpa shows up with his kayak. Paddling up the river is awesome! And yes, can you tell which of these men is retired and spends time at the beach every day and which of these men is in his office and/or classroom every day!? Whoa, that is one white haole!
