Snorkeling!

On Thursday we snorkeled at Hunauma Bay. This was such a fun day! (I feel like I've said that in every post about Hawaii!) Hunauma Bay is a protected marine life conservation area and the bay floor is actually the crater of an ancient volcano that flooded when the exterior wall collapsed and the ocean rushed in. It was just beautiful! We had a great time snorkeling and looking at all the pretty fish. 

The gray areas are the coral reefs. The bay was very shallow with only
about 8" of water between us and the reefs when swimming over them.



Look under the black bag that says "snorkel bob cares" and you'll see a rooster.
We were sitting soaking up the sun and all of a sudden a rooster ran onto the beach.
We thought this was so funny and odd!

"Scrumptious," overpriced lunch of chicken tenders.


Coral reefs - so pretty!!





Love this picture - it looks like a postcard!
