I know I do not post about my family or our families adventures, due to a promise I made with Sandra when I first said I wanted to blog-- "That's my thing, that's what I blog about", she said. So I haven't, until today. So let me start off with an apology for not only blogging about the family, but preemptively posting about our Kauai trip before she gets to. Please do check out her blog in the following days for a much better blog than mine, as it will be I am certain--spectacular, as always.
I love to play in the waves and never in my entire life have I been able to play like we played this week. The sea was unreal. The waves literally massive and towering which crashed down with violent beauty.
While the younger kids played in safe near the shore, Christian and I ventured out into the larger waves and as fun as it was we took a beating, as wave after wave pummeled over us, spinning us in summersaults under the water. Of those waves we were able to dodge by diving under the wave before it took us out, we would only be greeted by the subsequent incoming swell that was trying to crest. You look up
at this two-story mountain of water in front of you and think to your self, “Oh crap!”
The following are a few of the photos Sandra and I took of us playing in the waves at a secluded beach on Kauai's north shore called Secret Beach (Note: that these waves were typical of what we swam in, however, when the weather turned sour and the rains came down the waves nearly doubled in size, but we couldn't take photos at risk for ruining our camera, but non the less these waves are impressive):
