Mermaid cave

We had such a fun day at the beach. The kids did not have school and so we made plans to go to one of our favorite places and show some friends the mermaid cave. We got there about 9 o’clock in the morning and some more friends came after we went and explored the tide pools and jumping off into the ocean we just went and played at the beach. Most of the friends left around lunchtime. They had other things to do but we decided to just stay until we ran out of snacks or water Which ended up being until 5 o’clock! A full beach day!
Some of our new friends are hosting  high school exchange students from Germany and Spain, and they seemed to have a fun time soaking in the Hawaiian son and enjoying the Ocean as well. A few games of Uno and scum… we finally convinced them to come under the shade after Brecons shoulders started looking bright red. He needs to remember his heritage— does not do well in sunshine 😂
Cannon started to have fun, jumping off and doing some cool twists off of the ledge

Brielle and Connor are not afraid to go through the cave. Sometimes he bumped into the coral rocks and come out with some scrapes on your knees and they did pretty good
When Cannon was little, he used to call these hot tubs. They’re just fun to get in and the tide is low.



Such a pretty spot so glad that we got out and enjoyed some sunshine today!

 It was a super fun last week of summer. I think the kids felt like we played hard enough and so they were ready to go back to school by the end of the week with all the beach time and hikes and fun we felt like we had a really made our time count, and part of that was actually planning what we were going to do :) weird that actually works 😂😂
