Fun activities--Rocky Sea



The days continue to be filled with good kid activities: all three of the kids really enjoy the finger-knitting project. And yesterday a group of the children made Hawaiian leis in preparation for our arrival in Hilo in a few days. And even though we are swaying a lot from side to side, the younger set still enjoys playing soccer, sharks and minnows, and dodge ball.
The nights, however, are a different story. Things fly all over the room each night: nothing can be on a shelf area and even when we store things on the floor they still fly all over the place. Each morning it looks like a tornado has hit our rooms, and we sure feel like we've been through a tornado each night. Last night the kids' beds were rolling all over their room so much that they came in with us and Steve eventually went to their room. We were up all night, getting thrown from one side of the bed to the other and trying to secure things as they flew about the room.
One faculty member who has been on six voyages said he had never experienced anything like this before...we're hoping it will stop soon, although most say it will continue to Hawaii and possibly on through Japan. Oh well!
