A "Grand" visit


Traci & her family decided to take a sort of spur-of-the-moment trip here.  We all left LA on the same flight.  The Grands were so excited.  As soon as I got over there, I went to Wal Mart & bought some snorkels so the kids could practice in the MH pool, salt water and 88 degrees (almost like home).  That was the best thing I ever did.  They took right to it.  I wish that I'd had a recording of Jack the first time he saw fish!  You could hear him all the way to the beach yelling through his snorkle, "fish, fish".  It was pretty funny.  Lauren is a mermaid for sure, diving down to 15 feet!

So during their trip there were lots of beach days at Three Tables, Kaiaka, Turtle Bay and Waikiki.  We won't count the bummer day at Ko'olina (no fish or waves).  Eating at Dukes, and enjoying shave ice on the beach.  Snorkeling with mommy, daddy, poppa, Lauren and Jack all at the same time at Three Tables.  Jack actually falling asleep on the beach while watching the water.  Lauren going crazy in the shorebreak no matter what beach it was.  Jack learning how to sand slide, and breaking a boogie board.
Seeing so many humus and trying to identify all the fish off of the fish chart.  Lauren eating so much mochi, I thought she'd turn into a mochi. Watching the turtles at Turtle Bay and every other beach.
Just having a great time!

Thanks guys, you really are 'GRAND"
Love, Grammy
