Waimea Beach

Well after we did the Waimea valley hike and had lunch we headed over to Waimea Beach to get a last few hours of beach and sunshine in before heading home to clean up and catch our flight. 

 Waimea Beach was a lot different this time than the last time I was here.  The beach sits up higher and then it's kind of a steep slope to the ocean. Last time is was a nice gradual slope into the ocean. Last time we had a great time boogie boarding but this time the ocean was pretty rough and the draw back into the ocean was very strong. You really had to hang on to the kids so they didn't get sucked out.





 Just having fun covering up the kids.






 So we were trying to convince ourselves that we needed to get going but just couldn't convince ourselves we wanted to leave. As we were hanging out in the ocean all the sudden a huge wave came and crashed clear up into the shore where all the kids were buried in the sand and Sarah was grabbing kids under the arms and pulling them up out of the crashing water. The rest of us were trying to regain our footing after having our feet washed out from underneath us. Needless to say we were all covered from head to toe in sand and water. We figured the ocean was trying to throw us out so we decided it was time to leave.
Hola Hawaii! Thanks for the good time!
