Beach Day

Finally got to sleep later.  Up at 6:50 and left at 7:30.  First stop was IHOP for breakfast.  I must say it was pretty delicious.  We rarely eat at IHOP at home but when we haven't had it for such a long time it was good.

Back in the car.  We drove up the coast on what I think was the only road in Oahu we hadn't been on yet.  This was completely uneventful.  This stretch of road had mostly run down houses and nothing to do.  There were a few spots of beach we could have stopped at but we decided not to since we have a beach at our resort.  We packed a cooler with lunch in it thinking we would have lunch on the beach but since it was only 9:30 and we had driven the whole road we decided to go back to the resort.

Cameron wasn't into driving around again.

Once there we put our suits on and headed to the beach.  We had a cabana for the day.  They included it with our room so that was pretty exciting.  It was a beautiful day.  Cameron and I played catch in the ocean and then Grandma played with us too.  Todd ran to the store to get food to grill for dinner. Cameron built a sand castle.  Once Todd came back all the boys hung out in the ocean for awhile.

I was the supervisor on the castle building project.

Our resort.

Tom and Judy stayed on the beach while the rest of us went to the pool.  When we got there there was a mermaid telling a story to all the kids in the pool.  She was cute but she sure had an annoying voice. The little kids were loving it.  There was another little girl dressed in a mermaid outfit too.  If I had to guess I would say it was part of Make A Wish.  She was so cute and looked like she was loving it.

All of a sudden it started to rain pretty good.  We didn't care since we were in the pool.  Todd went to check on his parents and they were gone.  They had headed back to the room.  We decided to head up to the room and take a break.  We went to the cabana to get our stuff but Cameron decided to run into the ocean again.  He just can't help himself.  Finally back up to the room.

We showered to get all the salt off of us.  Hung in the villa for awhile before heading down to grill with Todd and Tom.  While they cooked Cameron laid in a hammock for awhile.  Him and I then played catch.  We saw a mongoose running around.  He almost walked over Tom's shoe.  He was looking for food around the grills.

Dinner time.  Brats, Italian sausage, ham steak, shrimp, salad, beans, and fruit...delicious.  After dinner Todd, Cameron, and I headed back to the pool.  The wind was chilly so I didn't get in.  We walked to all the pools and found a whirlpool that wasn't full.  It was nice and warm.

Another great dinner cooked by Todd.

Todd grabbed a pizza at the market and we headed back to the villa.  We watched a little tv and then played euchre.  Tom and I beat Todd and Cameron.  It was a close game though.  We then all played Go Fish.  Time for bed.
