big waves...

turtle bay resort...

another view...

the swell was even dying down!!

but they are beautiful...

a fun trip with c!

more waves...

my other c...  who just wanted to be in the water, or rolling around in the sand!!

it was so much fun to see the big waves.  and to just be on the north shore.  we also stopped at the food trucks for lunch.  there's this awesome burger truck.  they fly in their meat from molokai, and it's grass fed, organically raised, etc.  wonderful!  you can order meat from there to cook at home, too!  totally going back!!

i walked up, and the guy was watering the plants in front of his truck.  it was just 11am, and not too busy, so i asked if they were open yet.  the (shirtless) hawaiian man answered, "totally, i was just watering my blooms.  gotta keep them looking nice".  oh, and totally think of crush from "finding nemo" when you say that in your head!  we had a nice chat about their meat.  and my order.  and he had some crazy tats.  all in all, it was a totally "hawaii" experience!  i loved it!

the second picture at the top is at turtle bay.  at that point, you are looking at the radar site from 1941.  it's the site that first saw the japanese planes and reported them in.  but, due to conflicting data, etc, they were believed to be b-17s coming in from the mainland.  so, the report was discounted.  can you imagine being the guy that discounted that.  he did his job (and it was only his second day on the job), and it blew up in his face.  my heart went out for the guy!  

chris is getting closer and closer to walking...  standing up on his own sometimes!  and he wants to be down and moving.  but he is TERRIFIED of animals.  dogs, cats.  they terrify him.  it's cute to watch!!!
