I’m back with volume three and it’s kind of my favorite thing ever. We welcomed our cousin Kalli back to the mainland, so there was a lot of on-camera anticipation for that. She moved to Hawaii last October and we’ve been missing her like crazy. In case you haven’t figured it out yet, my entire extended family is super duper close and we always vacation together in the summer. We were lucky enough that she was in a wedding an hour away, so we got to love on her for exactly 48 hours. I wish you could see how excited the girls were in the moments before she appeared — that is all they talked about for hours and they couldn’t stop staring at the door of the restaurant! Also, in this episode, Sophie breaks down how to use her made up word in a sentence and apparently I’ve been doing it all wrong. For a little background on that topic, read this post.
Now, can we talk about the people in the yellow suits? The windy beach makes for less than stellar sound quality, so in case you missed out on any of the details, let me fill you in. For three days in a row, about 4 o’clock in the afternoon, this couple would come to the beach. They walked from the parking lot, across the boardwalk, over the sand and into the water with no stops and no hesitation. It was like watching a zombie walk into the water. They were dressed in yellow hazmat suits (with hoods), plastic gloves and shoe covers. Also, they were wrapped around a very large, inflatable snake. Some days they floated out there for 3 or 4 hours without coming in. The kids were mesmerized and I spent most of that first afternoon texting pictures of them to Jennifer. Do you know of any reason why they would be so afraid of the water?!
Episode four is coming tomorrow, along with June’s “By the Numbers” recap and a whole lot of vacation photographs. See you then!
