Hawaii: Forever Changing

It's hard to notice it in Wisconsin, but the land around us is constantly changing.

In Hawaii, it's very easy to see how the land there changes because it changes quickly. The land there starts as lava. The lava breaks down, which eventually creates soil. First a few trees and bushs take root. And then if there is enough rain, you have a whole forest.

There are 11 climates on the big island of Kona where we stayed. And it was interesting to watch the climates change just by driving around the island. In one part, we saw a rain forest. In another, there was cactus.

And in Wisconsin, normally your home is not overrun by hot lava.

It was fun to see the land and climate change so quickly as we drove, just like the seasons in Wisconsin.
