Surf's Up!

We just spent the last week in Maui and Honolulu, Hawaii. We went with our friends, Jake and Justin, and their parents, Ken and Jill, from back home. It was our last stop in America before we head off to China.

I did some snorkeling in Maui and it was really fun. On our first stop, I actually got to see a sea turtle up close. Then, on our second stop, I saw so many cool fish, all different sizes and colors. On our last stop, we went to a broken-down pier that was like visiting a shipwreck. I saw these huge trumpet fish with Tyler. My favorite part was swimming with the sea turtle.

Our hotel had an enormous pool that was in an area the size of three football fields. It had a water slide that we went down a lot. The pool area also had a swim-through cave with a waterfall and a pirate ship. We spent a lot of time playing in the pool with our friends.

The highlight of the trip to Hawaii was learning how to surf. I did great on my first try! I caught so many waves!

Aloha From Tyler!

Photo: Tyler and birdsHello everybody. Let me tell you all about Hawaii. We finally got on a plane in San Francisco and flew to Honolulu. From there, we went to Maui, where we met up with our friends, Ken and Jill, and their kids, Jake and Justin, who live in New Jersey. One of the first things we did was take surfing lessons. During the lesson, our instructor, Nick, taught us how to get on the board and stand up on it, so when we got out in the water it wouldn't be so hard. It was actually pretty easy because the waves were not too big.

Speaking of water, another thing we did was go snorkeling. We went out on a zodiac boat to allboys-at-the-waterfall-200x200.jpg these cool places with amazing fish, like trumpet fish, puffer fish and even a sea turtle. The ride on the zodiac was probably just as much fun as the snorkeling, since the waves were pretty rough.

One of the best things we did in Maui was drive to the Road to Hana, where we did all types of cool things like play in waterfalls, see tropical plants and visit a beach with black sand!
