West Shore Fun!

On Monday, Chuck, Dawn, Mike and I drove to the West Shore of Oahu. However, before we started on the road, we were graced by watching whales swim by our area of the beach and then we saw a beautiful rainbow!

Once we got over to the West Shore, we found a nice beach. We stopped and decided to walk in the sand and dip our toes in the Pacific Ocean. However, we were surprised to see a Hawaiian Monk Seal resting comfortably on the beach. That quickly consumed all of our attention! The seal was very patient with us and allowed us to photograph him/her without fussing too much!

We, then, continued to drive up the shoreline and finally stopped at Yokohama Beach. There we changed into our swimsuits and played in the ocean and laid on the beach. Oh, the life we live!!!

A whale swims past our area of the beach.


That's one whale of a tail!



First time I've seen a surf board strapped to a fire truck. Don't see those too often in North Pole. Makes sense, though!


Walking on the beach is VERY relaxing!

Oh, life is good!
Mike thinks about jumping in the ocean with all his clothes on.



Kristie takes lots of pictures!

Mike wants to give the seal a hug.


He looks like he needs a hug!
