Sand castles, sharks, and turtles was the theme in Hawaii. Our entire family of 7 got to enjoy a week in Hawaii together. I won't quite call it a vacation, because any parents knows that a trip like this is NEVER a vacation for the adults. Then top it off with a shark attack the day we arrived, and several shark sightings that closed many of the beaches...the week was interesting! We did manage to get some great snorkeling in - Mitch even did it! We are already planning our next big adventure!
