Snorkeling

We spent one whole day at Hanauma Bay enjoying the warm sunshine.

We took a picnic and swam, snorkeled and walked up and down the beach. It was a perfect day

so many colorful fish

It was such a highlight to see and touch the sea turtles... we saw 7 of them

my favorite picture

that's right.... we snorkel...

don't mess with me!

Our Hawaiian Trip... cont.

this is the drive leading up to the Hawaiian Laie Temple

Dip netting is held during the weeks of July. It is where you dip net fish out of the ocean by taking large round nets (about 4 feet around) that are held by 12 foot long poles. You walk out into the current and hold out your net to catch the salmon swimming upstream to spawn. Here is dad in navy blue, Scott in green and Erin in light blue, waiting for the fish to get caught in their nets...
