Wednesday Waves

 It was so warm this morning around 4:00 am that I opened the balcony door to our bedroom. The sound of the waves crashing on the shore is such a soothing sound that I fell back asleep and slept until 5:00. The picture below was taken this afternoon off the master bedroom balcony.

There were already people on the beach this morning around 6:30 am when I went out to get pictures of the sunrise. The moon was still up over the condos looking like a big street lamp hanging low in the sky.

There was a wall of cloud but the rays broke through both above and below with beautiful pink and gold.

The waves were huge this morning. At 9:00 am a lot of the family had already made their way down to the beach. Logan was wake boarding. 

 A bit later  Logan, Matt and Justin were boogie boarding. Logan was even doing some surfing.

The waves were towering over their heads.

The Blue Angels were practicing and came close enough for some pictures.

We old ones and the young ones were really enjoying the sunshine.

At 11:00 am we headed up to Lani Kai for the volley ball games.

Diane and I took a long walk on the beach and by the time we got back the games were finished. Kids were back playing in the huge waves. I went back to the condo to make lunch and after lunch both Mark and I took a short nap. We were back over at Lani Kai for the football games which started at 3:00 pm.

The little ones loved playing on the beach.

At one point Daisy wandered over to a red headed lady and just sat on her lap. We think Daisy thought she was Jessica but it didn't matter, the lady thought she was precious(just like the rest of us). The football games lasted quite late. We actually went in before they quit playing so not sure how long they played. A mist was creeping in toward the West when I left the beach.

Mark, Nancy, mom and I went to dinner tonight to the Original Oyster House. We had a 55 minute wait before they seated us at 7:00 pm. While we were waiting I took Nancy to see the alligator, dolphin and half of a truck.

Nancy held the pager and when it finally went off and we were seated we all just ordered the salad bar at $7.99 each and water. The salad bar was really good and we were really hungry waiting so long for dinner we got our money's worth. We were on our way back to mom's condo at 8:00 pm and it was still 66 degrees outside. We just can't believe how beautiful this week has been and all of us are so very thankful.
