We covered ourselves with sunscreen and got an early start for Poipu. Stopped at Walmart for a hat for Elanor (and me) and more wooden plates for Mom. (Note to mom, you may only get 3 plates. I suppose I'll have to come back!)

Got a great parking spot at Poipu but did not take a picture of it. After testing out 2 spots on the beach, we settled on a third. The wind was to our back and there was a great, safe place for the girls to get in the water and play in the sand. We buried them but they didn't stay down for long. Heads on the sand… always a fun thing to see. The folks walking by laughed. 

Not that far down the point from us were these rocks. Elanor has water shoes but Lola and I do not which is just fine. We didn't go too far. Note to parents: no danger of being washed out to sea at this spot. The girls sort of wanted to go farther and I said 'no'. 

Both girls are all about getting in the water, head and all! Neither of the girls seem to mind the fact that this water is on the cold-ish side. Steve says it's not cold at all. Men and kids must be impervious to the cold. I got in up to my waist today and felt fulfilled. It is warmer after you've been in once and I've sort of promised to get all the way in tomorrow. 

I took a movie with my iPhone. I do so love technology! It was so bright I could hardly see the screen but got a good movie. Someday, when these girls are my age, I hope they can still pull this up and remember this trip!
