on the third day, sean and i went with heather and russ to look for the "secret beach" that the homeowner told us we could find access to. we never found it... but we saw some lovely views along the way :)
then my parents took our girls to the beach and the rest of us went on a little kayaking adventure off of kailua beach. i don't have any pictures of this part because i didn't dare bring my camera or phone on the kayaks with us {good call, it turns out! we got really wet.}. it was a lot of fun, but a LOT more challenging than we thought it would be! we rowed out to some little islands that weren't far off the beach... but had to go around a long way to avoid a big coral reef. let's just say that the waves were kinda big and we almost tipped a few times and i was little bit {a lot} terrified. but we made it safely to the island, enjoyed exploring, and then rowed back. the way back was so beyond exhausting. i hated it at the time, but now i think it was awesome and quite funny :) afterward, we had lunch at buzz's with heather & russ, and then took the scenic way back to the house {jamming out to reggae and "positive alternative" tunes all the way}.
on the fourth day, sean and i took our girls to the hukilau beach in laie. serena had a blast playing in the sand & water and building a sandcastle with her dad. we went really early and there was only one other family on the beach which randomly turned out to be a friend of Sean's who was also visiting from utah! {they were still on utah time too.}
the four of us went into haleiwa for lunch and ate at pizza bob's. and it was gooood :)
later in the day, we all went to the dole plantation... mostly to get a delicious dole whip {amazing pineapple sherbet/ice cream}. harper got to walk around for a while. we spent some time in the gift shop. and then we went back to the house.
after we went back to the house, some of us ventured out to see if we could find the "secret beach" again. and we found it! kind of! mom & i went ahead and found one beach. heather, russ, lindsay & jesse found a different one. so i guess there was more than one secret beach :)
{this is the path that led to the beach from the main road}
after that, we had teryaki burgers at the house for dinner, and our little family went to bed early. like we did every single night. because we knew our kids would be up at 4am.
