Trip to Big Island!!

Captain Cook

Kona Temple

Black Sand Beach

I went to Kona, on the Big Island (it's technically called the island of Hawaii but they call it the Big Island!) this weekend. I had alot of fun, we went with a ward group at first and did 5 baptismal sessions at the Kona Hawaii Temple. It was such a good experience. The Kona temple is really small but they welcomed us with open arms and they were the greatest people.. we were so thankful for them and their help!! Most of the ward left the next day but we stayed in a hotel for the other 2 nights because it was a long weekend and we didn't have school!! We went through all the shops, i got a henna tattoo, went snorkling, saw turtles and dolphins, met a donkey, went to a black sand beach, and went kayaking to Captain Cook. It was amazing, I had a blast!! My favorite part was the snorkling.. there were so many types of fish.. kylie lent me some of the pictures she took with her underwater camera.. AWESOME!! The whole time i kept thinking.. my mom would love this- When we come back we will definitely be doing that!! :)
