Our first day in Hawaii was sunny and warm. We relaxed in the morning...well, at least Jim did! Abby's internal clock was a little off. She was up at 4am and HUNGRY! We ate cold pizza together from the night before. We watched PBS Hawaii, pretty much the same with some different shows. One of
my childhood favorites, Mister Rogers Neighborhood, was on. Wow, did that take me back about 25 years! So nice to see a show that I loved. We spent the rest of the morning hanging around our room (house). We have fabulous accommodations thanks to our supporter The Donald. Eventually we ventured out to do some grocery shopping and visit the golf course. After lunch we decided it was time to hit the beach!
Abby spent just her second day ever at the beach! She absolutely loved it! Those little hands were filled with sand the entire time we were there. I don't know what she enjoyed more, rolling in the sand or sitting in the water. The water was warm, but not as warm as I would like.
There was one handful of sand that made it into the mouth and down the tubes. She didn't like it very much. Needless to say, she won't be doing that again soon. Abby played, and played, and played. Then we spotted something down the beach and had to go check it out.
We found a group of people huddled around this monk seal. I was worried that something was wrong with it, but then I spotted a big sign that said "shhh, I'm sleeping". A volunteer was spotted nearby telling visitors about this guy. Apparently there are very few of these creatures in the Hawaiian Islands. What a cool sight to see! Shortly after this we met up with our friends Danny and Emily Summerhays and their two boys, Jack and Patton. We spent a little time playing on the beach together and then it was time for Abby to nap! Once the nap got started we had trouble stopping it!!!! Abby decided it was time to sleep through the night...we weren't having that. So out we went for a nice walk to dinner.
