Shark's Cove

       From this post on, I am going to use Uncle John's Bathroom Reader's idea of putting a random fact at the end of every page. Instead of at every page, it is going to be after every post. This is just to help you have non-useless information in your brain. This was proven by my younger brother, who can tells us the most random facts.

       Okay, now on to the real post. Last Tuesday, Mom, Micah, Aidan and I went to Shark's cove with our homeschool co-op.  Now for someone who has not  been to Shark's cove, I will give you some info:

• Location: North Shore, Hawaii
• Correct name: Pupukea Beach Park
• There are no sharks. I PROMISE! This beach is called Shark's cove because the rocks, are sharp and spiky, like shark's teeth
• Bring reef walkers if you want to go there because, and as I said the rocks are sharp and going barefoot HURTS! 
• There are tide pools on the right side of the beach
• The water is deep, about 20 feet at the deepest

The water was remarkably clear and was at an extremely low tide. After a couple jumps from the rocks and into the water, I was not that scared of the water as I usually am. Because most of the time I snorkel, I have to be with someone, and I have to be holding someone's hand the whole time…because I become afraid that there’s a shark underneath ready to chew on my body. Later in the afternoon, my Mom and I went snorkeling,  and I did not have to be close to her or hold her hand. I dove  down considerably deep, and for the first time, I was not afraid. I also know that God helped me with a lot with calming my fears! The fish were beautiful, and I saw a rock fish (scary!), a humuhumunukunukuapua'a (our state fish), and this beautiful fish that was all black with orange spots(if anyone knows the name of this fish, please comment, because I do not know it). Overall, my time at Shark's cove was incredible! We try to go to Shark's cove at least once a month, and every time I go, I am in awe of the beautiful, colorful creations that God had made for us!
