Aloha from Oahu HI Part 6

Our other days were filled with beach time (we went back to the North Shore and enjoyed the waves!), hiking to a water hole with "nature's slides", and being in the Austin's neighborhood on base.

Sadie gladly walked with me in the morning to get coffee on base

 as we listed to Kentucky Sports Radio podcast, ha!

walking along base

Sadie desperately wanted to jump off but kept getting in her own head. Wes was very patient parenting her through fears.

They don't look like big the waves but they were rough!

Joint Base sites

goodbyes are hard

Overall it was a beautiful time as a family and with the Austin family where the kids had fun, we had fun, and we all enjoyed watching each other have fun! We asked the kids if it was too far to fly or would they go back and they all voted for a return trip :)
