We're not Kama'aina yet so...

We might as well go to World Famous Waikiki Beach! Most locals decide to stay completely away from it since it's pretty much tourist haven, but since we've only been here a month, and have pasty white/yellow skin we probably wouldn't fit in too well at the "local" spots anyways. (By the way, this is Jason posting. I came out of blogger retirement...) As usual, Ashlyn stole the show with her cuteness. Multiple granny's from all over the world just couldn't resist her charm, one even said she'd be the president of the U.S. someday because of her way with people. Sure thing woman. The other funny thing is that if I'm not right next to Heather, most of them will ask if Ashlyn was adopted! And then some other people wanted to take her picture! For what?! I dunno. So Ashlyn pretty much loves the water and has no fear in it. One time she even got semi swallowed up by a bigger wave, but didn't cry at all when her face went into the saltly, warm, clear goodness. A true daughter of Heather. Oh, so here's an observation by yours truly reagrding this whole Hawai'i thing. Having grown up in Canada, it's not supposed to be in the upper 80's in November, and water is supposed to be frozen, not in the 70's!!! Christmas will probably be just as strange since we're planning to hit the beach on Christmas day, something you can't even do in Sunny California where Heather is from. (well, you can, but the water will sure be frigid...) Back to the beach. We didn't spend all our time in the water, I mean, Heather and I did have some rays to try and catch. By unanimous decision we kept full body shots out so you wouldn't have to see our farmer tans though, count your blessings! We should all know by now that Ashlyn loves the water, but she's also very fascinated with animals. Unfortunately at the beaches, there's only one kind of "animal" running around: "Flying Rats" (you may know them as pigeons). As you can see, I chased them around with her, but we never got close to any using that method. We got pretty close to chasing the nasties into other people's spread though... whoops, sorry folks. However, when Ashlyn had a cracker in her hand, well you can see how close she got to them. It was a fun day, but like all you parents know, babies just don't last too long and Ashlyn got pretty tired. However, that's Heather's favorite time, because the little baby gets really snuggly. After some snuggles though, the funniest part of the day was when we tried to change her swim diaper. I guess Ashlyn thought Waikiki was a nudey beach, 'cause once she got out of that diaper she was off. Good thing we didn't let her run around buck naked too long! And who can forget about my beautiful and super tough bride. Check her out pushing the stroller on sand, and it wasn't just for a short distance either. She claims it's good sculpting for her bootie. And speaking of booties, I need to show you a video clip of Ashlyn bouncing hers. It's pretty funny, and it's during a Mickey Mouse show! But that's for another time though.

Here's some video clips from the beach excursion:
