HAWAII!

We had such an amazing family vacation to the Big Island - Hawaii! We did lots of exploring and were able to visit a different beach everyday.

Kayaking across Kealakekua Bay - my favorite day!

The snorkeling here was amazing! So many coloful fish - I wish I would have brought a waterproof camera. All the kids loved it!

The spinner dolphins in the Bay were so fun!

Lots of waterfalls as we journeyed over towards Hilo for a day
