Kathleen often talks about Hawaii. We think the child misses it as much as we do, which is quite a bit. She loves to pretend that she's taking a plane (or the blimp we regularly see on the airfield) to visit. She talks about her friends, Luke and Grace. She talks about the house we lived in and the playgrounds we'd visit and how we'd see geckos in the house and turtles on the beach. She sometimes talks, to our great sadness, about what she remembers from when "Daddy was away."
But it is clear that the thing Kathleen misses most about Hawaii is the beach. If we'd doubted that, any uncertainty was washed away the moment Kathleen's feet touched the sand at Baker Beach.
The day was cold. (Just look at the fog in that video!) The water was colder. And she couldn't have cared less. It was pure joy.
Maybe not.
One thing we know: we need to take this child to the beach!

J1 misses the beach so much. We take him occasionally, but we have yet to get in. TOO COLD. Does she miss Ko Olina? We all mis Ko Olina.
This post made me smile a lot :) Love love the videos. Tell Kathleen we miss Hawaii and the beach too :( And all of you!
What a brave girl you are, Kathleen! That water is cold! I would miss Hawaii, too, but we are glad that you all are here for a little while!
I bet Kathleen slept well that night!
