Yesterday we went to the north end of the island to see the Waipi'o Valley but were washed out by the rain. The Hilo side got 18.5 inches in 24 hours yesterday. Below is a picture of the valley as far as we could see it.
We stopped by the beach were Lorretta Lynn's house is (or was since she no longer lives there). The kids played for a bit in the surf before we headed off to the market.
Big treats! The local favorite... shaved ice.
Our Hawaiian kids with Aunt Sue & Uncle Jim.
I gave underwater photography a try with a disposable camera. The results are less than what I expected. There is no focus so you get what you get, plus it is hard to aim the camera as you will see.
Here's Alex giving the thumbs up to snorkeling.
Here is the girl.
This is a small example of some of the fish we saw.
Here is Kathi & her mom with one of the many turtles we saw.We have had a great time and are already planning our next visit. Well it's off to the beach for the last time this trip. Hopefully everone else will be focused on the big game and leave the beach to us.
