Big waves!

We have been waiting for a high surf warning that corresponded with a mutual day off, and we finally got one last Sunday.  So we travelled to the Pipeline at Sunset Beach and saw big waves.  It was not too hard to keep X out of the water, since the sand at the North Shore is the perfect mixture of wet and dry for digging.  He tried out his new bulldozer, made some friends, and generally had a good time.

This Saturday, we went to the Lanikai Pillbox trail.  Despite being billed as a kid friendly hike, it was not easy to do with a toddler on my back.  There was a lot of scrambling up and down boulders.  I didn't want to let him walk too much because of the steep drop offs on both sides.  We only made it to the first pillbox before I called it quits.  X, however, enjoyed the view.  He kept talking about the fishies in the water.

It's hard to see how big they are, but you can see the spray everywhere.

It was like they were crashing in slow motion.
