I can’t believe I’ve posted a thousand times! I should do some sort of giveaway. With only a handful of readers the odds of winning for you would be huge! Ha! But there won’t be a drawing. Instead, I’m going to finish up Hawaii as much as I can. Coming back from vacation is bad, coming back to remote school is terrible, and blogging about tropical paradise weeks after the fact is just plain depressing. But here goes nothing....
I ran to the beach one morning, the private resort beach (how cool is that?) and saw this tree with signatures on all the leaves. So I found a rock and scraped in Ball 2021 and will look for it next time we go back.

| My morning run. I wish you could feel the peaceful calm of a slight ocean breeze and birds chirping on a pleasant 80-degree morning |
 |
| We went cliff jumping and these two sat and baked on the hot, black, lava rock as they patiently waited for everyone to get their adrenaline fix. After an hour I realized there was a shady tree nearby so they sat under it for about five minutes before we left. Mom fail! |
 |
| After randy tested the waters, Marcus wasted no time jumping in |
|
| They jumped together, alone, did forward/back flips, and it was great fun! Landon and I even jumped in from a safer, lower ledge. And my Apple Watch fell off. Sad for me! |
 |
| The 7-minute walk through lava rocks to the cliff |
 |
| After cliff jumping we went to Two-Step beach for some amazing snorkeling. The place was packed with people! But we saw schools of tropical fish, beautiful coral, and deep ravines with the whitest sand on the ocean floor. |
 |
| Parker is not ready for snorkeling so he had fun catching crabs in the tide pools |
 |
| so many people! and so many more in the water! |
 |
| We tortured ourselves by checking out this national park. It was beautifully boring. |
 |
| Then we went back to the resort and discovered another huge pool area. We had the whole place to ourselves in the evenings. |
 |
| Randy took up reading and was happy to give Henry his phone so he wouldn't be interrupted |
