This family is so fun and spirited. When the daughter immediately commented on my “beautiful” mom bun I knew we would be friends. ;) We placed our bets on the weather as Oahu has experienced quite a bit of rain lately…and we won. A little bit of sunshine peeked through the beautiful evening clouds as we walked to our location, which was a bit farther than I expected as the recent swells have moved the landmark tree down the shoreline. We played on said tree and piggybacked our way across the sand. Thanks to this ‘ohana for a memorable evening on the North Shore, and best of all, for making it feel like the beginning of a friendship—mom bun and all.
