Hawaii Pics

Sorry its taken so long to get these on here. We took a lot of photo's and I've been struggling with which ones to put on and then I thought what the heck just get them up there. So here goes.

Here's some of the many beaches we were on.







Here's some of the larger waves heading towards Mattie.



Here's another wave trying to take out Markey.




Here's some dancers from the Polynesian Cultural Center we visited.






Instead of spending all the time on the beach we went for a hike to see Waimaia Falls and while we were there we spotted the endangered Moorhen. There are only 500 hundred left in the world and five of them were here. Here's one.




Here's part of the hike (Whoever heard of a paved hike?)



Here's an old Hawai'ian dwelling.



And here's the part of the hike that Markey liked.



The end result was the Waimaia falls. Here's Mattie with his friend Dante.



It was pretty but we were expecting something a lot different so on the 2nd week we went to see some other falls and they were much more impressive.




We had to go through a rain forest to get to them which was also pretty kewl. This was a better hike but we still had the pavement.



That's all for today but I'll post some more soon of the volcano we walked across and some of the world class telescopes we saw at 14,000 feet on top of the worlds largest mountain.

Mezza out!
