Lobby Board

In the afternoons we've been taking Nate down to the beach. We take the bus down to the International Marketplace and head out in front of the Royal Hawaiian. They have a very nice sand bar about 100 yards from shore, that's shallow enough Nate can stand up in it. It took a little convincing to get him out there the first time, but after that he loves it. Sometimes he rides on my shoulders and loves to shout shark shark, at which time I start thrashing about and jumping up and down in the water with him on my shoulders. He has a giggle and can't get enough.

Other times when we're there, he really likes to be playing right where the waves crash. They toss him about and throw him around and he can't get enough, keeps wanting to do it again. Loves to get the big waves that really throw him. Then he comes up laughing and saying he saw fishes. It's quite funny.

But the best so far has been his "Lobby Board". What you, me and the rest of the world call a boogey board, he is stuck on calling it his Lobby Board. We bought a new one this time, we saw this one last time we were here on the beach, but never saw one we could buy. It has a clear round plastic area in the front where he can look through and see the fishes under the water. We're looking forward to taking him out to Hanuama Bay to get some really good fish views. Until then it's a combo boogey board and flotation device, even though he can't really balance on it.

We're trying to decide what to do today, either the Dole Pineapple plantation or the Sea Life Park. The latter he gets to swim with Dolphins, but he seems excited about the pineapple maze. We'll see what wins out, I'm thinking pineapples then north shore.
