Our Trip to Bellows AFS

It's still Friday here in Hawaii and everyone in our house is sound asleep - except for me, obviously, who as the resident laundry woman simply cannot go to sleep until the clothes are done! Yes, I have issues, LOL. : ) Since I am still awake, I figured I might as well write about our day! Isaiah, the kids, and I spent the day with our friends Kevin, Denise, and their kids at Bellows Air Force Station, which is a gorgeous stretch of white sandy beach up in the northern portion of Waimanalo Bay. The scenery on the way is just beautiful:

Bellows AFS has these great, rustic cabins right on the beach, along with campgrounds, parks, and all kinds of activities. Denise and Kevin decided to rent a cabin for the night, so we packed up our kids, cookout supplies, and swimsuits and headed out there to join them for some fun and sun!

Isabella took to the beach much better than she has done before. She was fascinated by the way the tide would roll in and out...I had to stop her a few times from running in too far!

After tiring outselves out on the beach, we cleaned up and barbecued at the cabin. Denise and I got nostalgic and decided to make some old-fashioned s'mores for the kids (and us, too!) When I say old-fashioned , I mean we got sticks for toasting the marshmallows and everything...mmmm. Of course, I ended up driving home with a car full of snoring people...but it was a great day!
