Aloha Hawaii

We walked down where the Lava was flowing into the Ocean, at night you can see the red lava splashing into the air. We didn't have flash lights so we couldn't stay longer. This was as close as they would let you get.

Waterfall in Hilo

One of the Waterfalls in Hilo, Hawaii.

Whale Watching

When we were on our way to go snorkeling we spotted the whales and sat and watched. It's a little rocky but I was trying to get all 3 whales in the shot.

Hawaii Trip

We returned from Hawaii yesterday we spent 8 days on the Big Island and had a blast. We went with 8 couples from Tommy's work it was so much fun. We got to know each other better and played, played, played. The guys golfed while the girls got massages, we snorkeled, watched whales, seen waterfalls, volcanoes, lava tubes, heard Hawaiian legends, shopped, laughed, ate a ton, laid out, went to the beach, helicopter ride, went to a luau, squealed tires on the mini vans many times!!! toured the island, shopped and went on an ATV ride!! Ya we're tired!!We missed our kids, but sure hated to come home to the cold weather. Its nice to hug our kids again and sleep in our own beds! Some of us had Geckos and a ferret in our rooms at the resort, luckily not us!!! It was wonderful!!! Can't wait to go back.
