Tide Pools

We have had many busy days with Nana visiting.  Today mom and I went to Maku'u Market sans kids which was really nice to be able to meander throughout the entire market.  Then watched some Brewers while eating some lunch.  Afterward, Nana wanted to go to the tide pools so we headed in that direction.  Nana opted to hang out with Henry instead of snorkeling so Lance, Anika, and I got on our snorkel gear and headed in. 
Just to preface a little on Anika:  When we left WI Anika did not like even getting her hair wet let alone going under the water.  Just last week I introduced her to her goggles and now out with us using her goggles and seeing the underwater wildlife.  It was really fun to show her different fish, coral, and eels swimming around.  I would point something out and she would say things like "Yeah, I saw it", "That looks cool", or "Look at all that coral".   She had a great time and didn't want to leave.  Our new plan is to look for a youth sized mask and try to introduce a snorkel.  We'll see how it goes.  We're so proud of how well she's doing with swimming and we're glad because we're surrounded by so many wonderful things to see in the water.   We were also happy to have Nana hanging out with Henry since he's not quite ready to be snorkeling with us.
