Day-5 (Feb. 8-10) Today we went to the Volcano National Park to see the lava tube. It was long. Then we saw the craters. Then we went to Hilo for lunch. I was starved. I got pizza at a place called Café Presto. We went back and went to the Black sand beach and went boogie boarding. We went home and worked on my work.
Science/Social Studies-Today we went to the visitor center at Volcano National park and I learned about how boars killed the birds. The colonists brought over boars which could roam freely. The boars started to make cavities in the tree ferns. Then the colonists started bringing over water with mosquito larva in it and dumped it out. The mosquitoes bred in the cavities so the mosquito population grew and grew. Next the colonists brought over song birds with malaria, which got free. The mosquitoes bit the song birds so the mosquitoes had malaria now. Then the mosquitoes bit the native birds, these birds were not as intolerant of malaria and many of them died.

Greetings Jackson!
I know you really miss math class. We have been working on percents. Don't worry, I'll send you some new work soon.
I've only seen Hawaii from an airplane that landed there to refuel on its way to Australia. It sounds as though you are having a lot of fun. Don't worry though, I'm sure there will be plenty of snow for you to have fun in when you get back to New Hampshire.

Hi Jackson! I wish I could have seen the volcanic features at the park. I once went to Craters of the Moon in Idaho (http://www.nps.gov/crmo/) and saw some cool craters and volcanic rocks, but no lava lubes like the one you have a picture of here.
I'll bet the sand at the black sand beach felt hot! I would love to see that, too.
Keep having fun and blogging about it!
