Francy Fish came along with us on our trip. She wanted to share her adventures with the kids, so we sent lots of pictures for them to see. The kids really enjoyed this. In fact, the first thing Megan said to us when she saw us after the trip was, "I know that Francy had a good trip!" So here's Francy's Hawaiian vacation, along with the messages we sent the kids. (The Notes are added for clarification and weren't in the initial message.)
Francy Fish has had a busy morning. (These are all from Kipahulu area of Haleakala National Park.)

Sunrise this morning.
Snorkeling this morning. We both snorkeled at Kahekili Beach. There was a ton of coral all around--it was really pretty! We saw lots of fish, some eels and maybe a shark or barracuda. Then mom snorkeled at Black Rock. Lots of fun!!!
