We can’t keep Ella out of the water

We are having a great time.  I’m going to keep my words to a minimum since there are a lot of pictures to post.  Just a correction from the other post (I shouldn’t do this after I take my Ambien)…we were at the St. Regis hotel, not the Ritz Carlton – I don’t even know where I got that from.  We have gone to a different beach each day and Ella has seen a lot of fish.  We got her this great boogie board which you will see in the next set of photos.  Instead of snorkeling, Ella can look through a little window in the boogie board.  Very cool.  Ella loves the water and it’s hard to get her out of the pool/ocean.  She has been building sand castles and digging and having so much fun.  We are really on vacation.110.jpg There are a lot of these roosters all over the island.27.jpg Wow!  Look at all that tropical fruit.  Ella really loves the pineapple.36.jpg46.jpg The other morning, Ella and Sunny woke up super early and explored the grounds.  They brought bread with them and fed the birds and the koi.93.jpg Here is Ella at Ke’e beach.  She met a bunch of kids there.55.jpgElla getting some water for the sand castle.64.jpgResting on one of the kid’s inner tubes.75.jpg This shot doesn’t have any of us in it but I just wanted to point out that I was snorkeling with Ella in this little cove when I came across an eel.  I just kind of pushed Ella along, but I almost threw up!  Not exactly what you want to see while looking for pretty fish.83.jpgComing out of the ocean with mommy.102.jpg One of Ella’s little beach buddies took this shot.113.jpg Look out Esther Williams.123.jpg132.jpgElla feeding the koi at the hotel this morning.142.jpg Sitting on a turtle at the kid’s pool in our hotel.152.jpg Meditating.162.jpg181.jpg Some cool underwater shots.  I have a lot of great movie footage, but I don’t have the right program here to post the movies.171.jpg Getting ready to do a flip with mommy.191.jpg201.jpg This is the cool boogie board that I was talking about.211.jpgElla is practicing her snorkeling technique.221.jpg Flying a kite with mommy.  If you look high in the sky, you can see the kite.231.jpg241.jpg251.jpg Ella getting some water in order to make a sand castle.  Ella was very serious about her water collecting job.261.jpgMommy is super happy to finally be in Hawaii with us!271.jpg Back at the hotel after a 2 hour swim.28.jpgElla the old lady carrying groceries back to our place.29.jpg Ella tucking her stuffed animals in.  Check out how happy Ann looks.30.jpgBeautiful Ella.311.jpgThis is a kid who is really concentrating.Goodnight.
