Goodbye Hawaii






We leave Hawaii tomorrow, but we've had a great time the past two days! On Tuesday, we went and toured BYU-Hawaii and did baptisms for the dead at the Laie Hawaii Temple. After that, we went to the Dole Plantation and ate some fresh pineapple. Julie and Brian went in the maze that they have there. (It was recognized in the Guinness Book of World Records 2001 as the World’s Largest Maze!) On the way to the Dole Plantation, we stopped at a beach where we saw and walked up to sea turtles!
Today, we went snorkeling at Shark's Cove and saw lots of fish. Mom got attacked by a fish about the size of quarter and freaked out. Then we went over to Waimea Bay where the water is super clear and warm. (It's like a pool.) A lifeguard drove dad down to the ocean on a four wheeler and we got him into the water for a little while. By unanimous vote, today was the best day.
We're ready to go home to our own beds, but aren't sure we're ready to return to the mainland.
