Oura Wan: Part 1

We went to stay at a beach house this weekend at Oura Wan - a beach at one of the bases on the other (Pacific) side of the island. It was a great weekend.

We got to stay in one of the big "distinguished visitor" cottages, which was very fun. We had a great view of the ocean!

Our living room. The kids had a great time running all around the different rooms.

Matthew and Anna's little bedroom. They loved sleeping on a big bed, especially one with so many pillows.

The view from our front porch. It was so beautiful, just sitting there watching the ocean felt so relaxing!

The porch with BBQ.

We stayed in the Shisa cottage (another name for Shi Shi dog) and there were shi shi dog pictures all over. I mean, who doesn't want to look at a picture like this when you are eating breakfast, or brushing your teeth, or going to sleep. :)

The view in the early morning.

Anna liked all the flowers.

The cabin had this outdoor wash area, which I LOVED. I wish our house had something like this. Great for beach living.

We played at the beach. The water was a little choppy and it was HOT, but we still had fun.

Anna liked the sand.

She bathed herself in the sand.

Both kids wanted to swim with their floaties, but it was a little too choppy for that.

Matthew and I were wading in the water and a piece of seaweed wrapped around his leg. That freaked him out and then he wanted to sit for a while. He drank his water and then got sand in his mouth, and then his eyes.

He cried for the rest of the time...and we left the beach not too long after that.
On to more adventures. Stay tuned for part 2.

Sand in your eyes can take the fun out the beach in a hurry. I hope he got rinsed off and eyes rested.

What a lovely cabin. I am glad you got time away together.
