hawaii…whale watch

we had all planned to go on the same whale watching trip, minus grandpa, because he had volunteered to watch coop and emmy.  unfortunately, the morning of the boat ride, morgan woke up feeling sick, and shae passed out and had to be taken to the hospital from his neck injury the day before.  so morgan and i hung out, while grandpa drove michelle and shae to the emergency room, and everyone else headed to watch the whales.  luckily in a few hours shae was leaving the hospital and morgan was feeling much better.  the pacific whale foundation was kind enough to give us vouchers to come another day.

this is the second whale watching trip for a few of these kids (a couple wanted to go again.)  it was an early trip, we had to get up and leave before the sun came up.  it was beautiful to watch the sun rise, and we basically had the boat to ourselves.
