Beach Day!

 If I have one slight regret about our Maui trip, it is that we didn't have MORE pure beach days. 

On Wednesday, we enjoyed an amazing few hours at the beach (about all we could handle because of the intense sun, anyway). Really, if Cora hadn't been sick when we arrived, we probably would have had a beach day on Saturday, but no use crying over what was a phenomenal trip.

On Wednesday, we rented two paddleboards from Boss Frog's, the chain of beach gear rental stores all over the place.

This was Cora's first time, and like most things she tries, she seemed to be a natural from the get-go.

Violet had used a paddleboard a year ago at Hume Lake, and she also made it all look easy. 

Stace and I later took a turn, and it was fun! Not as easy as the girls made it look, and Stace spent a lot of time falling into the water. Surprising since he knows how to surf! 

We also body-surfed, played in the waves and found turtles! 

When Stace and I returned the paddleboards, we walked over to a nearby shave ice place and got a big one for us all to share. Perfect beach treat!
