Turtles!!YEAH!!! October 24th

We had a little jet laggggggg! You could say we were off a little bit on our mountain standard time. We woke up at 3:45 a.m.. I mean wide awake. We waited for a lil sunlight, just the the light, the sun was still not quite up yet. We watched surfers and fishermen take the early time on the waves. Then we rolled Dad out of bed at 6:00 a.m.. We dressed for a nice morning walk on the beach. The kids were a little excited. This was the first time for all three of them to ever be on an ocean beach. Lets just say we don't go near the water now without our swimsuits. Myali was completely wet. We went exploring. Fortunately we didn't have to go far before we were swimming with turtles. We followed them, trying to get a better look at them. It was a family reunion of turtles. Finally, two came closer to the shoreline. Atina was all gungho on catching himself a turtle, since he caught a crab right off, he thought he was the great Johnny Wingo, the sharpest hunter on the island. It was quite the hoot watching him go in with his clothes on and then realizing that the turtles were not small, but huge. I mean huge!!! It was fun. We loved the turtles in our own little private cove. It wasn't a public beach so we had it all to ourselves.
Later on in the day we went to try our skills on a boogy board. I have to admit I was a little nervous going into the ocean. Once I caught a wave and rode it, I was addicted. I loved it! Waimea Bay had awesome waves for boarding. We spent the afternoon there more then once.
