Day 5 in Hawaii

We are skipping Day 4 because it was a bust.
We went into town (40 minute drive) with everyone to walk around and get groceries. Zach had a total melt down the minute we arrived. :( Then everyone was on edge and was just trying to get our stuff done to get back home. Long day.
We did eat lunch at Bubba Gumps. :-)

You can see that Zach is having nothing to do with us. His attitude did perk up after he ate. :-)
Was a wonderful day!!
The weather was great!
The waves were calm.

Grandpa got another run in on the beach…...

and a little Bible study while relaxing.

The waves were calm enough for us to snorkel for the first time today. We found a nice little cove with a beautiful beach and good rocks to see the sea life.

They are all watching a turtle swimming by. Zach & Grandpa both touched the turtle……shame on you!

It was a fun day, but we all got a bit too much sun.
That evening we went to the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel to see the manta rays.

Mauna Kea has lights on one area where it brings in the food that the manta rays like to eat. As Zach will tell you, "They are NOT sting rays. They don't have stingers!"
It was a pretty awesome sight!

We were only there for a couple of minutes and this guy showed up. We later found out that they do not show up regularly, so we were pretty lucky to see this one.
