Norman and Linda Black: Mom and Dad Visit

Today was beach day. The wind had died down and so it made it nice to be at the beach.

Mom wore her short pants but dad decided he would just take his shoes off and roll up his pants.

Mom walked along getting her feet in the water but dad stayed on the high side.

Dad finally decided he would put one foot in the water so he rolled up one pant leg. I told him to hold there for just a minute while I took the picture. In the mean time, I saw the wave coming and instead of one foot in the water....

...he got them both in - pants and all!!!

Then he just rolled up both sides and went for it.

He ran from the waves as they came up the beach.

Brandon build a city for his boats.

There were surfers out in the water along with the boogie boarders. I was pointing out some of the differences to mom.

Dad sat down to take a rest because standing there watching the waves was making him dizzy. He sat down on the mat and was resting comfortably until...

...a wave came all the way up and, as he puts it, filled his back pockets!!!

In the mean time, I grabbed my boogie board and headed out to catch a few waves.

Whichever one of these you thinks looks the best at what we are doing is me!!!

If you catch the wave just right, you can ride it all the way back to the beach!

Here are a couple of videos showing the wind (that died down today) and a boogie board ride!

After the beach, we came home and cleaned up and headed to the famous Kahuku Grill for dinner. My friend (the Stake President - pictured below in the middle back row with the sun glasses) is the owner and we love eating there. I took great pictures of the huge burgers, wonderful coconut macademia nut shrimp, and the fried banana bread with ice cream on it along with an acai bowl. I got a little quick with the delete button as I was transferring them from the camera and I lost all those pictures, so just picture us eating here!!!
