Kailua Beach with Brittany (April 1st)

Girls Day at Kailua

April 1, 2011

Brittany was here and we wanted to show her some of the fun beaches that we have.

Sophia always takes quite a bit of time warming up to the idea of actually getting near the water. She loves to play in the sand and 'build' things. Brittany was great at helping Sophia build some towers and some very fun, deep wholes.

Sophia didn't build this fun castle section but liked walking through someone elses work.

Brittany dug this so deep that Sophia could stand in it almost up to her shoulders, but then the water got it before we could take a picture!

Helena's favorite thing to do at the beach is to eat the sand. She would get pretty mad when I would stop her.

We all tried to play in the sand together, but Helena wasn't sure that was high on her list of things to do.

Brittany finally got Sophia out into the water, all she wanted to do was jump over the waves. This isn't a great picture of either of us but you can see me lifting her and her 'jumping' the waves as they came in. She loved it. Brittany and I would have to take turns because our arms got pretty sore from doing it over and over and over again.

We are standing in the same spot, you can see how much higher the water was when the wave was in. "Wait for it..."

We all had a great time at the beach. It was fun to have a girls day and enjoy the windy beach. Brittany and Helena became great buddies while she was here!

We miss you Brittany!
