Awesome Hawaii

By Jonah Figueroa

By far the most special place is Hawaii. Hawaii has hidden coves and lakes. It has birds with a ocean of trees. There are beautiful orange sunsets at night. The trees have big crunchy leaves. Hawaii has many waterfalls with crashing water.

There are old trails lined with smooth mossy rocks. White puffy clouds cover the sea animals. The warmish water makes grass grow. Many wild animals roam the land. Hawaii is a great place to visit!
