Hawaii is Paradise

June 21st Reed, Joan, BJ and Scott arrived in Paradise. Our arrival was perfect, Palm trees swaying in a slight breeze with a perfect 85 degree temperature. After settling in we immediately went on a quest for surfing lessons. BJ and Scott had a goal to learn to surf while we were in Hawaii.














If you know Dad you know that he has to go to a waterfall. He found two falls to go to. They were beautiful and fun. The hikes were not hard or long that made mom happy. The hike to Manoa Falls had flowers that had dropped all along the trail.and flowers in the trees all along the trail.


Maunawilli Falls was full of excitement. The trail was full of exposed roots. When we got to the falls Dad, BJ, & Scott jumped off of the falls many times.

We went to the Polynesian Cultural Center and had a fun time. We learned about many of the Polynesian islands and saw lots of dancing with fun things to do that is unique to the different islands. We went to a Luau which was a traditional Luau and had Poi Rolls (purple rolls) spiced meat and shredded pig. We had all the fruit drinks we wanted. It was good. The program was full music and Polynesian dancing. Dad and I were invited up front to dance with all the other couples who were celebrating an aniversary.

The boys were having fun doing crazy things.

Watching sunsets out our Hotel balcony, eating Shave Ice all over the island to find the best one(Haleiwa was voted the best), and laughing all the time made out trip very very fun. Scott summed up our trip perfectly!!!!
