Hawaii -- day 6: Airborne Nov 28th | filed in: News

Thanksgiving was adventure day.
Mat got the camera on the helicopter ride over and around the island of Oahu.
Here's our resort from the air:


Here's another view, and I put a white arrow pointing to our little cottage:


Mat did a great job with the camera! (He had the little Olympus)

We also spent some time in the bay.
Snorkeling was a bit much for the kids, so we got a "view board" from the rental shack:

It's a boogie board with a view hole inside, so the rider can see under the water.
If you watch "John & Kate Plus 8" like we do, you'll remember that this is just like
the board that Alexis rode when they went snorkeling in Hawaii.

Here's another view of Rory:


I shot a little over-under-water video of Mat enjoying the view-board, too:

(same drill ... email readers, go to the blog to see)

Much to our disappointment, we didn't see any sea turtles.
We were hoping to snorkel with at least one sea turtle during our trip.

I even hiked over to anther bay away from the main resort to see if I could find any.
Here's a view of the resort from that other bay:


But, no turtles there, either!

Even without turtles, it was a great Thanksgiving!!
