Our very own private beach! "The Queen's Bath"

When I returned from my morning run, I joined everyone else down on our private beach behind our house. Everyone was having such a great time!

The kids were paddling around on their boogie boards, having races...

Andrew wasn't too sure of the water at first so he played in the sand. Nice shades!

Here is a view from the top. It is called "The Queen's Bath". See the ridge out in the water? That is a ridge of volcanic rock and acts as a wave breaker. During high tide it is underwater, but during low tide the waves break on the rock leaving the shallow water on this side very calm. It was a perfect spot for the kids to play.

Ben figured out a way to paddle faster. Clever kid!

Andrew decided to try out the water. Once he was in, he was LOVING it!

Nick's sand castle. Good job!

Tatiana out on the ledge. Such a pretty girl!

Ben couldn't get enough of his boogie board.

What a fun morning!
