Goodbye Hawaii...

Wednesday we headed to Hanumana Bay.

We spent the morning there snorkeling, walking on the beach, and just hanging out.

Danielle and Chad enjoyed feeding the birds. This provided some quality entertainment not only for us but everyone around us.

Patrick and I decided we could have spent all day there. The weather was perfect and the water was clear with tons of fish to see.

Everyone went snorkeling!

In the afternoon we headed to the Polynesian Cultural Center. We were able to visit a few of the villages.

Patrick tried his hand at making fire.

We went to a Luau for dinner.

After dinner we wandered around a bit more before we went to the evening show, Ha-Breath of Life. The show was great! It was filled with all different types of traditional island dancing and fire dancing, which was the highlight for me.

Thursday morning dad, Chad, Danielle, Patrick, and I hiked Diamond Head.

It had a nice path and at one point had a TON of stairs.

We all made it to the top to see the beautiful view.

We caught up with mom and Tay for lunch.

Patrick and Chad decided to try surfing in the afternoon while Danielle and I cheered them on.

They both got up a few times!

Our last day was Friday. We ate breakfast on the beach across from our hotel and spent the morning playing there until we had to check out.

Patrick and I decided to build a sandcastle.

We had such a great vacation! We enjoyed not having to think about work and school and being able to spend a week together with everyone.
