Lindsay and Tony in Hawaii

We made a few stops on this afternoons excursions - First stop Makapu'u beach. The waves were breaking a lot further out than we had ever seen before, and there was a 4 ft drop in the beach, which we had also never seen before. The lifeguard came down to warn us of the surf conditions.

We left about 30 minutes later and headed to Sandy Beach. We enjoyed some food from the Wahoo's Taco truck, before lugging all of our stuff to the beach. When we got there the lifeguard came out and warned us of high surf. Tony decided he wanted to live today, so we left here as well. 

The lifeguard told us to check out Sherwood beach, which we hadn't been to before... so we made the drive to Waimanaloa Bay Park, which is where Sherwood beach is. 

This place was gorgeous - long beach, with calm surf and gorgeous views!

Perfect Blue Water

Manana Island or Rabbit Island 

From www.hawaiiweb.com "Manana Island is located on the Windward side of O'ahu, north of Makapu'u Point. The shape of the island actually resembles a rabbit but it was named Rabbit Island because rabbits actually live there after a rancher released the animals there. Today the island serves as a seabird sanctuary."

 Mokulua Islands - North and South. These 2 islands are also used as bird sanctuaries. 

From www.hawaiioirc.org "Mokulua translates as ‘two islands’ and is, indeed, made up of two volcanic islets; Moku Nui or North Mokulua and Moku Iki or South Mokulua. Together, they total 24 acres in size and reach elevations of 225 and 150 feet, respectively. They are located approximately 3/4 of a mile offshore from Lanikai. Both are remnants of the dike core of the Kailua Volcano, overlain by lava from subsequent Koolau eruptions. North Mokulua has two peaks and is the larger of the islets. It is separated from South Mokulua, which has only one peak, by a shallow channel 200 feet wide. Both islets have steep slopes, cliffs, and rocky shores. The sandy west beach of North Mokulua, however, is suitable for landing in good weather and is the destination of thousands of kayakers and other visitors coming across from Kailua each year."

Trying to take a good picture with these two is impossible

The boys are out surfing in Waikiki. They took the waterproof camera with them, so hopefully there will be more pics to come tonight!
