Now we picked Baldwin beach because of it's location, the safe lagoon they had that was great for keiki (Hawaiian for children) to swim and its big white sand beach with plenty of room around the lagoon. Or at least it had been that way for years and had been that way the last time we were there in January. Not so much that way when we showed up that day.

| None of these trees were on the beach before. |
 |
| So much of the beach had been cut away at by all of the trees. |
Our guess was that the tsunami in Japan reshaped Baldwin beach. How else could all of these trees have just washed up on the beach and re-shaped the whole beach line? The area where we had hung out on the beach 6 months prior wasn't even there anymore. If a whole dock could wash up on the beach from Japan in Oregon that certainly a bunch of trees could wash up on the beach in Hawaii.
Regardless, we decided to make the best of our newly changed beach and just enjoy the day. Our guests started to arrive; many we were seeing for the first time since they'd gotten to Maui. We laid in the sun, swam in the water and rode the waves. It was a great day at the beach.
We'll let the pictures speak for themselves and tell the story of our day.

As you can see, we had a great day at the beach. It's tons of fun going on vacation with your friends. I think we need to do that more often.For a few more pictures of our day see this previous sneak peak post.
