We went to Waimaea Falls up on the North Shore of Oahu. Everything down by the hotel is so commerical and I wanted to kids to see some of what real Hawaii was. It's kind of like a botanical garden with lots of native flowers and plants and a few ruins from Hawaian Royalty who visited the valley and believed it had healing powers. There is a waterfall up in the canyon but the island was in a drought and there wasn't a single drop of water in the canyon. Seems strange that you can be completely surrounded by water and not have any on the island, huh. Sometimes when it rains there are just waterfalls everywhere and it's so pretty but we didn't see that this time. Anyway, the kids did a little craft and made a fish on a fishing line out of coconut leaves. I love, love, love the one of McKay's little hands making that fish. So cute!
