I visited a cool island called Hawaii with my family. We went to an amazing pineapple farm. There was pineapple ice cream. My cousin and I both had the pineapple ice cream covered in chocolate. It was so cold and tasty! We also went to the beautiful beach two times! I tried to dig a big hole in the sand at the beach to find treasure or shells. It was so fun! I also went to where the movie Jurassic Park was filmed. It had just rained, so it was muddy but had lots of green grass. There were fake dinosaurs to look at. Hawaii is a cool place to visit on vacation!
