Hawaii- Waikiki Beach

Waikiki Beach is our favorite resort in Hawaii for two reasons: it's a block away from our hotel, and Jade LOVES it!  Jade loves swimming in the ocean and playing with the sand. It took her only half an hour to warm up to the ocean on the first day. She's obsessed with the ocean. Every morning she wakes up, she wants to go to the ocean!

The water was nice and warm. Jade would get so excited every time a wave knocked her down. She screamed so hard everyday that she almost lost her voice when we came home :-) Our least favorite part of the beach is the sand. They get everywhere, and they are hard to get rid of. Jade had to take a bath every time we came back from the beach to wash off all the salt and sand. But she loved the baths. She could play in there for up to an hour. The secret is the little mini soap bars the hotel provides. She's never played with soap before, so she had so much fun playing with it. Only a couple times she would forget and rub her eyes with her soapy hands and scream for help.

We put all kinds of sunscreen on her before we go out. So she never got sun burned (none of us did). But her arms did get tanned. I tried very hard to keep her white and pretty for the wedding pictures :-)
