Makaela and I played hooky from school so we could drive Mike and Cate up to the North Shore. We stopped at Matsumoto's before heading to Waimea Bay. The waves and the undertow were pretty bad, so Makaela needed an adult with her at all times. Even though she got tossed a few times, she was all gung-ho and kept running towards the waves. We headed down the beach a bit where the sandbar was wider and surf wasn't as bad. The water was amazing though. After the beach, we dropped Mike and Cate off at their hotel and Makaela cried her eyes out!
