Waimano Falls

We are realizing that our days in Hawaii are numbered, 5 or 6 months left. We wrote a "Hawaii bucket list" it includes going on this hike to Waimano falls.
Stacey, Adam, and Anniston at the trail head. The Hike was around 3 miles round trip.

Stacey and Bethany on their way down a VERY steep part of the hike with lots of "tripping" roots.

Stacey and Bethany coming down another VERY steep part of the trail. This one even had a rope to help you down. Also, instead of roots to trip you up, it was a mud slide.

Adam and Anniston hiking through the jungle, enjoying strawberry guava's all along the way. Anniston was a trooper! She rode the entire time in her little carrier without hardly a whimper. She just jibber jabbered most of the time.

A part of the Falls...We were slightly disappointed when we reached the falls. There was a group of people who had three dogs...rottweilers who were not friendly with each other. There was a rope swing in the lower falls that we wanted to swing on, but decided to forgo the swim due to the dogs.

Beautiful, photogenic Stacey.

A cool picture (showing Stacey's photography skills)

We ended the day with a double rainbow on the drive home. (so you can barely see the second rainbow if you look hard enough above the bright one, we didn't get the picture quick enough to get both of them)

It is so amazing that you are living over on that beautiful island. What are your plans once you are done over there? That baby girl is so cute! What a sport for being so happy while hiking!

I love the pictures! Sorry you didn't get to swim. I would have steered clear of the dogs too.

I miss hiking in Hawaii. Mark would love to answer any questions you guys have and also to prepare you for things that you probably havent thought of. Mark is a great resource. What's your email address?

Salsa recipe:
10 tomatos
2 red onions
5 jalapenos
1 bunch cilantro
1 red pepper
1 yellow pepper
1 green pepper
4 avocados
5 limes (just the juice)
salt & pepper

Directions: Chop all the vegetables & mix together.

depending how you like your salsa you go by the taste. I like mine HOT & and a little salty sometimes I put more jalapenos, onions, and salt to get the KICK I want. Some people like it mild. Good luck, I hope that helps.
