Big Island - II

These are our favorites in the Big Island:



1. Hiking across the Kilauea Iki crater in the rain and seeing the rainbow yards from us materialize out of the lava rocks.




2. Snorkeling in Kahalu'u Beach. Saw lots of fish and turtles and easy to get to especially when the hotel is right next door!




3. Driving on Saddle Road between the two volcanoes, Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea.




4. Spending time with Grandparents and Great-Grandma.
5. Reading Great-Grandma's letter about her childhood.



6. Boogie boarding in Hapuna Beach with Grandma.




7. Black Sand Beach and the turtles.










8. The Manta Ray Super Water Slide.




9. Swimming at the beach that we thought was Ku'kio Beach.


10. Thurston Lava Tube - especially when we were the only one there. Creepy, dark, slimy but fun.




11. Lauren and Emma being deputized as Junior Rangers.
