Day two in Hawaii!!!!!!!!! :) :) :)

Today the weather was 82 degrees! It was not too hot and not too cold. There was always a nice breeze coming off the ocean that felt sooooo good coming through my hair. The air here is like so clear, not polluted! We rode in the back of my older brother's truck like all day going around the 4000 acre farm that both my older brothers live and work on here. It is called Kualoa Ranch. Several movies were filmed on this ranch. We went practically everywhere! The scenery everywhere you looked was a picture! I tried to take pictures as we drove but it was hard to hold on so I didn't fall out and take a picture at the same time. :( My dad, Mic, and I rode standing up in the bed of the truck.

Here are a few pictures I took while struggling to stay put...


















A wild boar we saw. Mic and Marshall are going to hunt some for us to eat in a couple days!



When we couldn't drive any further, we walked...


Here are a few pictures of some nature I took on a hill overlooking a valley...


This is a valley that my older brother Brody lives in.

She totally stole our hearts!!



I was taking random pictures and I pointed the camera at Aika and she said, "cheese"!!!



Aika and daddy fixing to go home for the day.



Today was a total blast!!! We swam for about two and a half to three hours. It was absolutely beautiful!!! My camera can't capture the true looks of Hawaii. :( I'm doing my best now. My older brother Marshall is giving me photography lessons like every night here. It is awesome because he is teaching me things about my camera I never knew. He is teaching me about lighting and where to place light to make different effects and such. Also how to make a mood in a picture. I'm really excited about everything that's happening here! Tomorrow we have plans to do some really terrific things. I'll try to blog again tomorrow night about it all, but for now I'm tired and have to go to sleep since I have to get up at 5am! :(
