Hawaii Trip - A brief catch up

Reiko went to the beach (Ko Olina)for the first time on Tuesday. It was around 10am so the sun was a bit hot and we didn't stay long. Not to mention she refused to wear her hat so we were worried about her head getting sunburned. She loved the water until she splashed salt water in her eyes. That was the end of our swimming.

We went back to Ko Olina on Thursday but in the late afternoon which worked much better. Reiko was more open to the idea of wearing a hat this time and stayed in the water for about 15 minutes. Later, Reiko and I sat on the sand with the water washing up to our feet. I picked up some wet sand and held out my hand as Reiko pinched some between her little fingers. It was a new texture for her and it was amazing to watch her reaction to something completely new. It was a really nice daddy-daughter moment for me, I enjoyed it.
