The big Island

8/25/2010 --  Today we went to the visitors center at Volcano National Park.  I wove a star.  Next we went to a crater.  There used to be a lava lake in the crater.  After that, we went to see petroglyphs.  We had to walk 1.4 miles to get there and back.   Then we went to a sea arch.  It was made of igneous rock.

We had lunch.  Finally, we went to the rainforest zoo.  I want to live in the monkey cage because it is a playground.


8/28/2010 -- We went to the Big Island of Hawaii.  We did a lot of fun activities.  We went to Kilauea, the volcano.  It was cool because we got to see glow from the lava.

I also liked Coconut Island, a tiny island in Hilo.  It had a tiny beach, and falling coconuts, and trees to climb.

 Another thing I liked was the pancake house.  I had three pancakes with coconut, pineapple and guava syrup.  It was yum yum.  I did not want to leave the Big Island because it was fun.

We Arrived in Hawaii

      We're in Hawaii and it is fun.   The time here is 3 hour difference than Phoenix.  I really like our apartment.  It has a small balcony and we're on the 20th floor.  The view is cool.

      We went body surfing on the second day.   Body surfing is really fun.  I think it's like driving a car because the waves push me as fast as a car.  We also swung on a Banyan tree.  The branches are like vines that you can swing on.

      
       On the third day, we hiked Diamond head.  It is a non-active volcano.  I did not like walking uphill.  After that, we went to Costco and we had pizza.  Then we went home.

       The fourth day, we went to the pineapple plantation.  There was a maze, a train and a garden tour.  I thought the maze was a lot of fun.  It took us one hour to get through the maze.  After that, we went to the North Shore and bought snorkeling gear.  Then we drove to the Pali lookout.  It was very gusty.  Finally, we went home.

        It's only been 4 days and we did a lot of fun things.  I want to do more fun activities in Hawaii.


 

Going to Hawaii

We are going to Hawaii on August 18, 2010.  I am excited about it. Come back later to see my blog.  I'll have a lot more cool things!
