Saturday, 2nd

Driving, driving, driving is the thing we did the whole day (almost). I got up and was just able to see the beginning of a flash flood. The flash flood was about 10 feet away at least. After a few good pictures, we had breakfast and headed out to Haleakala volcano. I got a little carsick on the way and slowed down our van (our van is a chevy uplander with a DVD player in it...I got carsick because we watched "Gods and Generals" until Haleakala) When we got on the mountain, I felt bad but we finally got to the top. The trip was a bummer because when we got to the visitor center at the top of Haleakala to see the crater, we couldn't even see through the window because of the fog and cold(it was funny on our way back to the car because Dad's glasses fogged up). On the way down I slept. Once I got up, I ate lunch and felt better. Then, on the road to Hana we hiked in the bamboo forest(when I was almost to the car, I saw wild chickens). Okay, now we are going to play...NAME CASEY'S FAVORITES!

Sunday, 3rd

It was hard to get into a worshipful mood today because the service was too performance oriented.  After church, we went to the condo and swam in the ocean...then we had a lazy day until night.

More to come!
