Poipu Beach

On Wednesday we all went to Poipu Beach on the south shore of Kauai. It was a great beach with grass, picnic tables, a playground, and a mild swim area for the kids. We all enjoyed being together as a family. With Karen and Brad living in Arizona, it's a rare time when we're all together.

Uncle Bryce and Cameron tried to dig to China. They did find this cute, little crab when they were digging!
Grandma and Grandpa even got into boogie boarding! If you wore goggles and looked down, you could see lots of fish. It helped us prepare for the snorkeling that was to come.

Lloyd and I slipped away for a few minutes of boogie boarding together. However, the waves make it hard to stay together. You just have to float wherever they take you. I loved seeing all the varieties of fish!

We all ended up leaving the beach in a rush because it started pouring down rain. After our day at the beach, we went and got a Shave Ice which is a must when you're in Hawaii. You can choose to have your shave ice with ice cream and a snow cap (condensed milk) on top, plus up to three flavors of syrup. Very yummy!
