My sister-in-law attends the ward that we used to be in before ever moving to AZ. We still feel a part of that ward due to the many friends we have there. Jan invited us to their ward picnic they were having at Ali'i Beach Park (which is in Haleiwa). After driving to Walmart first for some miscellaneous items, a bathing suit, and Breaking Dawn, we headed back to Haleiwa. We were successful with all but the swim suit for me. Oh well, I will just have to keep looking.
The kids were happy to be going to the beach, and especially since there would be cousins to play with. The boys played in the sand and surf. We had a hard time (or at least I did), getting the kids from the beach to the grassy area for some lunch. Lunch of course, was a potluck of irresistable local kine grinds (hehe). Jan and Aaron and their gang had to leave early. We stayed behind for 2 more hours of fun in the sun. There were turtles in the water close to us. Every 5 mins, you would see them pop their head out of the water for a breather. One popped his head out, which caught Micah off guard because it was closer than he was comfortable with. Oh yeah, almost forgot. Micah had caught a baby crab and was playing with it. All of sudden he started screaming, and I figured out, he dropped the crab in his pants (keep the comments clean now). He was jumping up and down screaming. I was laughing. I told him to take his pants off. He began to do it, then came to his senses that he was in a public place (I know, I still have it in my head that he's younger than he is), and looked at me like "are you crazy". I then directed him to go in the ocean and do it because no one would be able to him. Here's where it gets a little complicated. The turtle that was slowly moving to shore was still in the water. Which was scarier, the turtle, or the crab in the pants. Micah opted to get rid of the crab, he hesitated, but finally resolved to jump in the water. He stripped while in there and got rid of it, we think. He put his pants back on and came out. This is why I started blogging (LOL).
Yes, that is me under that towel. I buried myself in my highly anticipated book of the year "Breaking Dawn". I didn't realize Randy took these pictures of me until we got home. The towel on my head was for two reasons, to cut down the reflection of the sun off the sand and to keep from getting too wet when the rain showers passed through. It was a fun day, thanks for the invite!

The crab-in-the-pants story is hilarious! And I love the picture of you reading Breaking Dawn! Thank Randy for taking that picture for us, okay? Still insanely jealous over the whole beach, rain, and general Hawaii thing ;o)
