Hukilau Beach

Thursday we went with our friends Matthew and Jessica Hyde to Hukilau Beach. They moved back to the mainland yesterday so it was nice to spend one last time with them. Rob and Matthew boogie-boarded for a while. I got wiped-out within 5 minutes so I got out of the water. After they swam, we built a sand castle. Then we husked and cracked open a coconut they found on the beach. It was tasty. We saw a huge sea turtle, probably 4 ft. long, swimming in the water. Sorry no pictures. It was a fun day but really windy and it kept raining off and on.

This is one of my favorite beaches to go to by myself. It's close and it's usually pretty warm and calm.
Look what the humidity and ocean water does to my hair. POOF!Matthew trying to ride a wave.
Our castle was complete with tennis courts, secret tunnels, an outdoor pool, movie theater with stadium seating, a mote, and a look-out spot.

Coconuts are hard work to eat but they are worth it to me. Rob says he likes the processed, shredded, sugar-coated coconut better.
