Just returned from a wonderful trip to Hawaii with the Major.    Our last day( Sunday) was the best day.  We boarded a flight from Honolulu to Kona...rented a car and began a drive around the north end of the Big Island to Hilo.  That morning...which began at 2:30 a.m. (couldn't sleep)...I prayed for favor.  We got it!  We first hit the botanical gardens...I love flowers!  Then we went to the Volcanic National Park...amazing!!  We drove the lava flow road to the Pacific ocean where it has formed these amazing cliffs.  As we were watching the waves crash against the cliffs....we spotted whales...Humpback whales...a mom and her baby and school was in session because we watched a heck of a show.  Mom would breach far out of the water and splash down...baby would do the same.  She kept doing this...with baby doing the same.  Then suddenly...Mom's massive tail comes straight out of the water and crashes down again.  That was cool...but what was amzing was...she kept doing it over and over again!!  Like a child slapping the water with it's hand...her tail kept slapping the water at least 20 times!!  This whole scene brought tears to my eyes...I asked for favor...and God answered with perfect timing to see this display of amazing power and beauty.  To see a massive whale's back is beautiful as it comes for air...but to see it breach and splash...and roll on it's side ....now that is homeschooling!!
