Hawaii Part II

(September 2018)

 We hiked to Queens Bath.
This trail was muddy was so fun.
Some areas were pretty slippery but no one seemed to care one bit.
We loved having the Tangs with us.
Andie loved staying with Ashlyn and HAD to wear her "sturt" which is a tutu that we call a skirt.


We tried keeping baby Lane covered up as much as possible. 
He isn't old enough for sunblock yet so we had to get creative...yet he still manged to get some sun.


We made our way to Queens Bath and the view was so beautiful.


We were so happy that the waves were small so the overflow into the bath was small and it wasn't dangerous to get into.
(You can see Romney and Miles swimming across it first)


Lane and I stayed up on the rocks while the bigger kids went in with Daddy.
Miles loved the black rock and found little tad poles in all the little water pockets and even caught a tiny black frog.
He was in reptile heaven once again. 


We hiked back out and never got tired of all the root trees we had to walk through.
 

We made our way to Aninni Beach for the rest of the day.


Romney and I got to go on a little snorkeling date.
This was the murkiest water I had ever seen in Hawaii.
It made me kind of nervous about Sharks.
But the water was so shallow and the coral went so far out.
In fact, swimming was actually hard because our knees could and would scrape on the coral.
But once we got away from the coral we saw a massive sea turtle and thee longest sting ray we have ever seen.


As fun as it is to be out in the water and see amazing creatures, my favorite thing was to see
the kids and Romney playing in the sand together.


They had so much fun building sand castles and making bridges out of sea weed.


Our days at the beach never got old.
Not once.


 And I just sat under an umbrella holding a sweet baby boy....


and loved every second of it.
