This might have been my favorite day... EVER!

Hang loose!  

We didn't know much about what to expect from our first surfing adventure, but we thought we'd all give it a try.  Little did I know, that watching the girls carry their boards to the ocean, seeing every single one in our group get up on their surf board, listening to the kids cheer for each other, and seeing their excitement as they caught a wave, would become one of my favorite memories of all time!

BOOM! Success!!!!!

Quite a day with Black Rock in the morning, an afternoon surf... then one of our favorite celebratory lunches of the trip!!

Morning at the Black Rock

We started our day with a family adventure... Dad launching off of the cliff at Black Rock, jumping in the big waves, and a snorkel adventure ~  just the four of us, holding hands!

GO DADDY!!!!

We're On A Boat!

And quite a big one!  

From our first sea turtle spotting, 

to jumping off the side into the sunset, this was amazing.

Kaanapoli Beach

Dad made it down from watching the British Open right in time for the sun to come out, and to lead the charge to find more fish.  And before we knew it, we took over the beach with our crowd of 22! 

 KK and Bay got some good alone time with a view, and Mollie and her crew started to get the hang of boogie boarding!

After a fun lunch, and before an adult night out, we capped off the most perfect day in the pool.

Jet Lag?!?!

After a late dinner with friends, these girls were bright eyed and bushy tailed at 6am!

What to do?!!!  Take my coffee to the beach.

This was a morning I will never forget.  We woke up with the sun and had the beach all to ourselves.  The only sounds I could hear were my girls laughing.  I sipped my coffee, soaked up that most magical sound, and took them in... enjoying and exploring.  

" WE SAW A FISH!!!!!!!"  If that was the excitement level over one fish, I can't wait to see what happens when we hit some good snorkeling spots!

Cheers to a memory I will never forget and the perfect start to this trip.
