    You are so adventurous and brave! I was afraid just watching you from the safety of my chair! Good for Xander-what a brave little boy. Lexi still amazes me with her running ability. I can picture her running in the Olympics as an adult. Sorry she got sick on the trip but am glad everything ended up well and everyone had an amazing time.

    Beautiful videography with your personal touch. I visited the Big Island a few years ago.
    I arrived in Kona and then stayed with cousin just outside of Hilo. I was fascinated by the different areas of The island and the volcano debris. We went up to the volcano and was so surprised when it erupted a few weeks later. My cousin was on stand-by evacuation. A number of their friends lost their homes. I wish I had heard of swimming with manta rays.What an experience.!!!!

You'll definitely have to return and linger are some of those special spots, and I bet there's more, too, that you didn't see. The kids are lucky to travel while they can - wonderful education!
