Big Island Adventures

 First day, just us, enjoying the clear pool.
 Fun underwater pics.






 Z was so happy to fish with the boys on Uncle Pat's boat.  He even got to drive.

 Sunset time!

 More clear pool. 


 Declan having a peaceful nap  before friends arrived. 









 I adore this picture of the two of them. 
 And our Volcano National Park adventures begin!!
 Z's classmate told him all about the steam vents so he was thrilled to see them.

 Heading down to the lava tube.
Z insisted on jumping out of the car to see this.  He was so excited about the endless lava.


 We didn't hike to get close to the lava, but Z's desires to see "red, hot lava" seemed to be fulfilled. 

 Kayaking with Declan in the pond.


 Another fishing adventure,

 And another sunset...





 My girls in the clear pool.



 The boys loved to watch Uncle Pat cut their fresh catches.

 We hiked from Waikaloa to see this petroglyph field. 



 More family pics.


 More fish with Pat.  I was surprised Z was brave enough to hold it up!
 Yet another trip highlight- Z was able to try out Uncle Kimo's scuba equipment in the clear pool.  The tank was too heavy to send him alone, but with Zadoc holding the tank, he did great!!



 Declan's favorite activity- running around with a gun, pretending to shoot people!
