Kahe was our choice once again today!!!!! But it was even MORE interesting than our first trip!!!
So Mom and I went over there this morning by her request- I didn't realize it, but when I got to see the dolphins the other day, my mom really felt like she missed out. So she woke up this morning and asked me to come with her to seek them out. Talk about a surprise! Mom is adventurous instead of cautious today!
So we went- the water was BEAUTIFUL today. I didn't realize how much of the coral I hadn't seen because of the murkiness the other day. Anyway, the reef was quite extensive, so we followed it out in hopes of finding the dolphins once more. After lots of searching, we could hear them, but they were too far out to find them. Mom got scared at the deep seafloor and the possibility of sharks, so we bailed and headed back to shore. We found some shells at least!
Well, that's not where it ends- we headed back there again later that day. This time, we succeeded at finding the dolphins!!! Me, Aunt Marilyn, Brittany, and Shelby headed out after seeing them jumping from the shore. This time, they were even friendlier! They followed us all over the place. They gave us a show too! They spun and jumped for us for a few minutes before following us to the next spot. It was a lot of fun, and it was definitely a plus getting to see my aunt fulfill a lifelong dream!
What happened on the way back was... less fun than what happened five minutes before. As we were venturing back to the beach, I noticed that my leg was suddenly burning like CRAZY. As I looked up, I noticed that THOUSANDS of jellyfish were swimming in the water... I mean THOUSANDS. Yes... I got stung at LEAST twenty times. Possibly more. My whole leg now has welts all over it. Haha! It was crazy. But hey! Who can say that they fought it out with a jellyfish? Heck- Who can say they fought it out with over 1,000 jellyfish??? Not many- that's for sure.
Despite the fact that my leg was burning for the next hour, I stayed in the water (the jellyfish free part that is) and enjoyed the rest of the beach day. And of COURSE, my night was made once again by a call from Taylor :) This was a good day indeed!
Ok! One real day left in Hawaii before I head out on Sunday Night!!!! Let's make it count! But I won't lie- I am really ready to head back to my job and my life back in P-town. :) Missing it all!!! But tomorrow should be great!!!!
"I've got my toes in the water, toes in the sand, not a worry in the world a cold...drink... in my hand. Life is good today- Life is good today!" :)
