Hawaii

We went to Hawaii for our main summer vacation. It was so beautiful! I was jealous of the people that were born there. I would love to live there if my family lived there also. We went to Maui and Oahu. Maui was very calm and relaxing. We were in paradise.



We also wanted to see Pearl Harbor, so we decided to spend a couple of days on Oahu. The first day we went to Pearl Harbor. It was amazing. We went out to the USS Arizona. It was so weird to think that the ship you are looking down at still has people inside. I am glad we had to chance to go.



At first we didn't like Oahu. We didn't think we would ever go back. It was very busy where we were. There was a huge city with a beach. Then we went to the beach the second day. We had a blast!! The beach was packed, but it wasn't annoying. The waves were bigger, so we could actually play in the ocean instead of just float around. The Christian Surfers Organization was having a surfing competition where we were, so that was fun to watch.

Here we are at the Haleakala Crater in Maui. It is 10,000 feet above sea level. The view from there is amazing! Haleakala is an active, but not currently erupting volcano. (It hasn't erupted in 200 years.)


Lexie took a picture of the sunset from our balcony. It is beautiful!!
