All of us woke up around and a little after 4am. We still hasn't adjusted to the time difference. We just layed around and rested. Shortly after 5am the whole family headed out to the lanai to watch the beautiful sunrise.
After breakfast we decided it would be best to go pick up our snorkel gear. Once we were fitted with gear, purchased boat tickets for Molikini and did a little shopping we went out to the best local snorkel area to give it a try.
Walking in fins was quite the experience. Quite comical at times I might add, but so worth it due to the sharp coral that is in various sections of the shallow water.
Dancer got over her fears of the waves and deided to take hold of my hand as I led her into deeper waters. The different color fish that we saw were truly amazing.
(Please note that the underwater pictures above were not taken by my camera but were edited in based on the fish we actually saw.)The boys quickly gave up trying to walk in fins and stripped them off to jump in the waves and water. Poor Racer got quite the cut on his foot from the sharp coral and cried and cried. After cleaning his cut we ended up leaving that location since Racer just wasn't in a happy mood any longer and the pain in his foot was too much for him to bear.
Hawaiian shaved ice was near to take his mind off the pain. The whole family enjoyed a cup of shaved ice. Yummy!
Later that day back on our lanai we saw a beautiful rainbow. Since Hawaii is a tropical state and at any given time it is raining some where on the island, rainbows can be found.
Aloha until Day 3!
