The Plantation and Snorkeling

We went to this cool plantation. We took a train ride through the whole place and they showed us tons of different fruits, flowers and nuts that grow in Hawaii. They also demonstrated how to open a coconut. We ate delicious icecream in flavors like coconut, macadamia nut, guava, mango etc. We also got to see monkeys and many tropical birds. It was a fun place to take the kids to learn a lot about Hawaii.

The family on the train ride . . . yes we are tourists!

Max got to hold the coconut.


Later in the day, we went snorkeling. The boys loved snorkeling. They were so natural at it. We couldn't get them out of the water. I really enjoyed it too. The boys were so excited to take me out and show me all of the fish and coral they had already discovered. What a fun day, we can't wait for tomorrow. . . we are goingto a Luau!!!
