We went to the beach today and had an amazing experience!!!! While we were just hanging around by the shoreline in shallow water, minding our own business, we had a visitor....Yep, a sea turtle (honu) came right up to us and just hung out with us. AMAZING!!! I didn't have my camera with me, so this isn't an ACTUAL picture of our new friend, but just so you get an idea. Kawehi and JAG couldn't believe it. I have to admit I was pretty amazed myself.
The kids also learned how to snorkel today. Allan has always loved snorkeling and is pretty good at it. The kids loved it.
TCIG went on a 2-day camping trip with the Young Men organization. He came home pretty sunburned and tired...however...he learned how to canoe/paddle, hangline fish, speared an EEL, caught, gutted and ate raw fish!!! I about fell off my chair when he told me this. This son of mine is my most "pickiest" eater. I couldn't believe he ate RAW FISH, and that isn't the only crazy thing...He loved it!!!
Our family, especially the kids, are having such wonderful experiences here on the island. I am grateful for this chance my kids have to learn new skills, new hobbies, new likes, new language etc. I am so excited for the future. ALOHA!!
Oh, how incredible! I can't believe T speared an eel! Amazing! I'm so glad your kids are loving it! And thanks for your posts because it is so wonderful to know about your Hawaiian experiences!
