Trees Trees everywere! :)

Hej, this is Sienna back with another quick blog post.

 I've always liked to sit in trees. When you sit in them you feel connected to nature.
This is a tree at Coconut Island isn't she beautiful?






Tall palm tree? Well here's a surprise, it's TWO pictures but the same tree :O
In Hilo there are lots of palm trees everywhere you look. Some lining the shopping malls and  parking lots and all down the streets.




Welcome to The Magical Forest.
In the Magical Forest there are huge trees!
Just like this one I'm standing under.
I actually tried to climb this huge, magical tree. I only climbed up to the second branch.
This is a banyan tree.

Picture of  Amelia Earhart

Amelia Earhart was the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean.
When Amelia was little she always had the dream to fly. 

Amelia's first attempt was on March 17, 1937 
she made it to Honolulu, Hawaii  then crashed. She flew west from the US in her first attempt.

On her second attempt, she took off from New Guinea and was headed to a small remote island but she was never heard of again. They believe her plan ran out of fuel and crashed somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. She almost flew all the way around the World. She still 7,000 miles to go.

She is famous today because she was the first woman to attempt to fly across the Atlantic Ocean and attempt to fly around the world. She was also one of the first women pilots.

On Banyan Dr where we have been staying there is a tree with her name on it to honor her. 
This is me and Jera standing next to Amelia Earhart.

Thanks for reading this blog post about Amelia Earhart.
