Today, our field trip was Hanauma Bay (which is where everyone goes snorkeling on Oahu). Hanamua Bay is actually a volcanic crater (possibly the last volcanic action on Oahu). The ocean eventually cut through the low wall of the crater, which formed the bay. I hadn’t been yet, so I was pretty excited to go. It was beautiful! I even went snorkeling with the help of some of my kids (seriously one of them held my hand). For those who know me and how afraid of the ocean I am, this is big news! I didn’t last long but I made it far enough out to see a few different kinds of fish and coral. Then I started to panic, so I went in :). Baby steps…

So beautiful!
