Hawaii....day 4

Today was fun and relaxing. We were up EARLY again and started our day with a delicious breakfast with Andrew and Brandi.
Ryker loves Channel and would chase him around the house. Poor cat didn't know what to think having this midget running after him. Needless to say, he was not amused at all. While he hid under a chair Brandi brought out a toy so Ryker and Channel could play together. I'm not sure who had more fun, Ryker or Channel. He giggled and screamed as Channel batted at and played with the little ball.





Ryker loves dogs and would pet and hug Daisy.


After a short nap and some lunch we headed to Bellows beach. Ryker loves playing in the water and sand. Andrew brought his body board so we let Ryker take it for a spin.


He's not quite sure if he likes it or not


After the 2nd time around he was having a little more fun...


especially when Daisy would greet him with big kisses as he came in


I don't think Daisy liked it very much either

Taking a break from the water to warm up, play in the sand and feed Daisy. She didn't care much for the sand and neither did Ryker. I guess he thought that since it was fun to play in it would be yummy to eat. He picked up a handful and before I could stop him he stuck it right in his mouth. It took a few seconds for him to realize he didn't like it and started spitting it out. When he couldn't spit it all out he tried wiping it off his tongue with his hand and arm which were also covered in sand. I tried to help, but he just closed his mouth and swallowed it. YUM!!


It was a little cool, windy and overcast the whole time we were at the beach, but it was still beautiful.


He loved having his feet in the sand. The only thing that could have made this day any better would be to have his dad here to play with him.


Our little beach setup


Ryker was ready for a snack so I took him to the water to rinse him off a little. I had him standing in front of me and my back was to the ocean so I didn't see the little wave coming and it knocked him down. Before I could help him up another wave come in and knocked him over and he tumbled under the water for a few seconds before Andrew rescued him. He was a little startled and didn't want to go back in for a while, but was ok.

Ryker took a nice long nap after we got home so we stayed home, ate dinner, visited and tried watching a movie. I have yet to get 10 minutes into them without falling alseep.
