Wednesday is Home School Water Sports day and is usually spent down at the marina sailing. Well, Ken and the kids had another idea for this week.... a hike to a Hawaii water area. Fourteen students ranging in age from 8 to 15 years of age and four adults. We hiked up near the Makapu'u Lighthouse and then climbed down the lava rock face to the tide pools. It was amazing! We jumped into the tide pools, traversed porous rocks, waited for active blow holes to explode - screamed when they did, hunted for crustaceans and identified fish or various other sea life creatures. Sack lunches were compared, shared, rated and (eventually) eaten while drying out and warming up on the black craggy rocks. Despite all adult objections, computer and video games were hotly discussed! This shot is one of the older students being rewarded with the spray from one of the blow holes close by. That's the Makapu'u Lighthouse in the background.
