Day Six: Volcano Day

This is the longest day on the trip, but for good reason. During this day, we saw about five waterfalls. We saw a black sand beach. We walked a lava flow. We saw some beautiful scenery along the way. The grand finale was seeing the glowing red lava in the distance at Kilauea. We traveled from 7:00 AM to almost midnight. Our final stop before heading home was at Ken's Pancake House. Lots of photo opportunities today. Enjoy the pictures!

Day Five: Yes, we do homework in Hawaii. But we also swim with manta rays.

Parents: Here is proof that your kids are doing more than hanging at the beach :)

After classes, everyone headed to Kona for a submarine ride and some relaxation. It was a nice break to see all of Hawaii's fish without even getting wet! Many of us went shopping in Kona and the second group went to see the mantas. It was AMAZING.
