Dave and Rachel went Scuba diving last night. They took a boat ride in the afternoon for one dive and then rested before heading back down to see the manta rays at night. They said it was an amazing experience. Apparently they saw a white-tipped reef shark on the first dive, which I guess is a very rare occurrence. They were actually asked by one of the guides if they were on their honeymoon - haha!
While they were gone, the boys and I headed to town to see what we could see. While there, we got their picture taken with some parrots. I don't think they were too keen on this plan. It was worth every penny I paid for the picture to see their faces as the parrots were nibbling at them. It was hysterical to me.
On day 2, we headed up to Kohala Coast - further north. This is supposedly the sunniest place in all of Hawaii, but it was cloudy on this day. A storm seemed to be threatening, but it never materialized. The boys didn't love this beach as much because it did not have huge waves. They were OK, but not as great as the day before. The beach was more beautiful, though, and a lot bigger - which gave us more room to move around.
We stopped at a petroglyph trail. The petroglyphs were interesting, but the trail was really cool. There was lots of volcanic rock, interesting trees, and even a little cave. The boys all went through the cave on their bellies. I decided to walk up and around - seemed like the easier option.
Alex was doing pull-ups on any tree branch that would work and challenging the rest of us to follow suit.
Afterwards, we had a wonderful dinner outside by the water. The sunset was beautiful. Then, the boys and I headed to go night diving with the manta rays. Charlie, Dave and Rachel stayed in town for some shopping and posing with statues.
