Poi'pu Beach x 2 = FUN

On the first and last days of our vacation we went to Poi'pu Beach. We went there because it is a great place for the whole family. There is a nice kiddie area enclosed by a rock wall and a great area for snorkeling for the grown-ups. Ava spent her first day on the beach with Uncle Eric and Nona. She didn't like the water and the waves made her nervous. She even got protective of us as we went out snorkeling, yelling, "No mama no" and "No dada no." It was cute, but she got over it as she played in the sand.


By the end of our vacation and the second time at Poi'pu Ava was feeling more comfortable with the water. This time she played in the sand a little, but spent a good portion of the time in the ocean. She enjoyed splashing and walking around. When we were ready to go Ava didn't want to get out. We practically had to drag her out of the water. What a big difference the week made in her love for the ocean.

Ava loved playing in the sand and getting really dirty.

Rich brought a Sea Cucumber for Ava to see. She didn't think it was that cool. She looked at it for a second and the dropped it to play in the sand.

Ava played in the sand again with Nona.

This is the protected area. Nice and calm. We had a hard time getting Ava to look for the photos because she was having so much fun and didn't want to waste time posing.

Ava had a lot of fun with her Papa & Nona.
