Friday we went to Hanauma Bay to do some snorkeling. We followed the wise advise we were given, and headed over to the park early. Definitely a good idea. What an amazing time we had!!! So many fish...so many colors!!! The four of us had a wonderful time, even though Tera and I were really clumsy getting used to our gear. Here's some samples of the different kinds of fish we saw:
Don't look too hard...no fish in this picture. It was just a cool shot of the bottom of the sea.

Tera and I felt like such MAINLANDERS after we'd been in the water for an hour and then suddenly started feeling sea sick. Can you believe it??? We had to get out for a while. But it was totally worth it! We got out and found a surprise right next to our stuff...mongooses!!! They were so cute...but destructive too. And they ran away with some of our neighbors goodies. I wondered if the locals felt the same way about our excitement over the mongoose as we do when people come to our house and think it's neat to see a squirrel...those pesky little varmints!!!

Adam picked us up at our hotel and then took us to where Dawn was waiting with leis for each of us and lots of yummy food. Our cousin Kelly changed his plans so that he could be there, and we enjoyed meeting him and some of their friends. Fun night!!! Thank you, Dawn and Adam and Kelly!!!
Sage, Kelly, Dawn, Adam and Tera...cousins.
