Just wanted to share some pictures with you of Waimea Valley. It is a botanical garden area on the North Shore that is breathtaking! At the end of the hike, there is a waterfall----you can actually swim in the lagoon on clear days. On our particular day, it was really muddy from all of the rainfall in the mountains so we were not able to swim. On the positive side, it made for a raging waterfall that the kids loved watching!
Probably the funnest part of the day...and I think the family would agree.....was the Ultimate Jumping Challenge between Whitney and the kids. Really funny to watch! The challenge was to jump from one rock to another--getting extra points for height, style, etc. This lasted for a while was hilarious. Even Greta gave it a try. Needless to say, Whitney took the title by jumping over both kids---they loved that!
Another funny moment was during lunch. Peacocks roam wild here and were not shy about visiting those enjoying a nice meal. Grason's hot dog was the goal for one particular peacock. First, there was a stare down---peacock, then there was a peck to Grason's backside (which brought the house down with laughter)---peacock, then a jump to the table---peacock, then the hot dog was taken from his plate-----peacock. So, Grason 0- Peacock-4! He laughed about that all day.
Anyway, we hope you enjoy the photos!
