4th of July!

Zek is 1 week old today and to celebrate we decided to go to the beach - surprise! We actually got up early and were at Waikiki at around 7:30 am. We knew there would be a lot of people and wanted to make sure we had a good parking space and of course a great beach space. It was very nice relaxing on the beach with my Starbucks! Of course, it's pretty warm already and the first thing the kids did was jump in the water. I couldn't believe how well things went today - I was expecting it to be crazy with Zek being so small but things went so well! The older ones were completely independent and played in the water and sand, Oscar was able to surf and paddle board, and Zek and I just sat under the umbrella! We had a great day!

One amazing thing - Ki decided that he was ready to paddle like a surfer on HIS board (Oscar's shortest board) and he did awesome! We were so proud of him - only 3 years old and laying down on the surfboard practicing jumping off. I can't wait to see him surfing the waves! Genesis even paddled a little bit and wanted to go out to the deep parts! We might have to buy another surf board soon!

In the evening we joined Darrick at the base for a big fireworks show - we had first row seats on his huge ship! Ki was loving it, Geni was scared crazy, and Zek was sleeping! Over all we had a great time and great 4th of July!
