Saturday was our last day in and around Kona on the Big Island. On our schedule for the day was Lane's morning scuba dive, followed by more beach, then make our way back to Hilo.
While Lane was scuba diving, the kids and I got all packed up and checked out of our condo, and then just ate some McDonald's for lunch, went to Wal-Mart, of course, and then drove around until time to pick Lane up at 12:30. This was Lane's first open water dive, so he was both very excited and a bit anxious, too, I think. He had a good time, despite the fact that the group got caught up in a drift on their 2nd dive, which caused them all a bit a trouble and were unable to move around much. Everyone was safe, though, and it was a great experience for him.
That afternoon, we headed north of Kona and went to Hapuna Beach, which is one of the more popular beaches on the island. It was really pretty and very big, and for some reason, I didn't take any pictures, so you'll just have to take my word for it that we actually went there. Billie, Tyler and Caleb stopped by for a few minutes, too, so they can vouch for me! As usual, Dane built sand volcanoes and lava tubes, and Sydni walked around looking for rocks. We had a great time, until Sydni suddenly decided that she wanted to start running directly into the ocean. So, after chasing her for about 10 minutes or so, we headed on out and made our way back to Shayne and Billie's house.
Here are some of the pictures that Lane took while diving.
