Our First Week on the Big Island

The first week on the Big Island of Hawaii has been pretty amazing!!  I think we are still in shock that we are here for a whole month!  The weather has been sunny and 85 everyday, with a low of 75 at night.  The beaches are incredible here.   The water is warm, clear, turquoise blue in color and have the best waves!


Here is Hapuna Beach, rated one of the top beaches in the U.S.! (they are right too) 


Autumn getting ready to snorkel.  


A beautiful day at the beach!  The kids had a blast playing in the sand and jumping the waves, as did we!


Fresh coconut water, right down the road from us!  


Joss enjoying a refreshing sip of ice cold coconut water.


Autumn drinking almost all the coconut water!  She couldn't get enough!


At the end we cut out the coconut meat and made some cocktails with it!  Yummy!!  



After a day at the beach, we threw this local fruit into the blender along with some rum and ice.  Life be good, man!!!


Autumn sucking on a lime from the yard.


A day at Kua Bay. Some of the most crystal clear waters we have eve seen!  And some of the biggest waves I have ever encountered!!


Joss trying out some bodysurfing!!


Auty too!


Joss and I bodysurfing together!  She was having soo much fun in the water! So was I!  I felt like a kid again!


The waves at Kua Bay were crazy!!  It was almost scary how big the waves were, but at the same time it was sooo much fun!!


I might be smiling here, but just after this I was hit pretty hard by a wave.  I was thrown around the ocean like a rag doll!


Erik trying his hand at body surfing.  Well played, well played indeed!


Having a great time!!  He too was thrown around like a rag doll :)


Auty loving the ocean!
