It took us a few days to get settled in and say hi to all of our friends and family who are down here in Hawaii with us, and with all the running around we had not yet had a chance to take a dip in the ocean. But we remedied that today, with a trip down the hill from our house to Launiupoko Beach.
The water was silkily warm, the beach was uncrowded. I've missed the ocean, and getting a chance to swim in it's waters again was rejuvenating. We were joined at the beach by Ursa's sister and brother-in-law and their two kids, as well as Ursa's best friend and her son. The kids enjoyed splashing in the wading pool while the adults got a chance to play in the gently rolling waves. It was all you could hope for from a trip to the beach.

As our beach time drew to a close, we needed to head back up the hill to get showered and changed for our evening out. My parents were hosting a cocktail party to give everybody a chance to meet each other before the big day, tomorrow.
I'm glad that we got the chance to mingle with everybody, and to see that everyone finally got to the island safe and sound. There were a few late travelers that just got off the plane or were still recuperating from long travels, but they all made it out and it meant a lot that they did.
