Waimea Bay - Memorial Day

For Memorial Day - we did what we always do every year - go to the beach! Waimea Bay is a pretty popular beach for the locals but has limited parking, so we decided to get up very early and head on out! We were hoping to catch a Hawaiian sunrise but weren't quite in the right position (big mountain in our way) but it was gorgeous being at the beach when it was still dark. We had such a great time being there all day. I even actually played in the waves with the kids, we all rode the paddle board, and played in the sand. We saw many turtles poking their heads up and the kids get so excited when they see one. We must have seen about 15 of them throughout the day. Then, we actually got to see tons of spinning dolphins that came into the bay. They played, jumped, spun around, and it was just something we had never seen before. They stayed in the bay for quite a while! We caught them on video so Oscar will have to make a quick video for all of you to check out. It's days like this one, where we have to just thank God for blessing us with this awesome experience of living in Hawaii!
