Ocean
In Hawaii we went swimming in the ocean at Lanikai beach. The water was warm and a beautiful shade of greenish turquoise. The sand was soft and melted under our feet. The sun was shining down on us making the water sparkle and shimmer and there was a slight warm breeze so the palm trees were blowing in the wind. The clouds in the sky were bright white and fluffy and then it started raining warm raindrops while we were swimming. We couldn’t believe how beautiful, rejuvenating and magical it was to float in the ocean and swim around. When we looked underwater, we saw lots of pretty colorful fish. While we were swimming, a large green sea turtle swam right next to us. Its shell was a beautiful intricate pattern and it looked so peaceful and happy swimming along in the water.
