TYING THE KNOT PART II

Down the street from the home we rented on the big island of Hawaii

was this gorgeous beach/bay with boat rental area.

Almost 60 friends and family flew in from all parts of the United States to join us

for my son's wedding

On the day before the wedding

 we took a 4 hour Catamaran snorkeling and cliff diving adventure. 

Not all went as planned of course.

The boat would only hold 40 people 

so we ended up having to rent an additional boat for the rest of the group.

Luckily no one got sea sick 

but 2 of the older adults had to be rescued after jumping into the water,

(not in the best physical condition)

and just one person cut their foot on a piece of corral

(my husband of course)

Luckily there were no sharks in the area.

Ha!

But the water was so clear,

and the turtles were there to swim with us.

Above was the cliff the captain took us too to jump off into the ocean.

Almost everyone climbed up the rocks and took a turn,

 even the older folk.

Which again was a mistake.

One family member landed wrong and actually hurt her back pretty badly.

Sadly she ended up in Urgent Care that afternoon,

but was ready for the next adventure the following day.

Crazy!

Here is my son Zach in the water urging his little sis to take the plunge.

This was her first time being up so high above a body of water 

and she was pretty scared but she did it.

She jumped.

Good for you Dani girl!
