So we got back from Hawaii on Sunday, and it was so much fun! We kind of lazied around the first 2 days we were there, cause we were so tired, but that's cool. Monday we went to The Smith Family Luau. First they took us on a trolley around this beautiful garden, then they let us off at this place where they had an earthen oven, with a roasted pig in it. When they unearth it, it is called the emu ceremony. I was convinced that i wasn't going to eat a roasted pig. Next was dinner, a huge buffet of tons of yummy food. I did try the pig, and you know what...it was DELICIOUS! I also tried poi (ground ginger root) That is their starch, and it looks like a purplish gray kind of paste. It tasted like nothing, it was weird. Then there was a show. It was amazing, i don't know how those girls shake their hips like that. bailey also thoroughly enjoyed it.
Bailey loved playing in the sand ans trying very hard to make a sand castle. We went snorkeling and just enjoyed the sunshine since here in Denver a snow storm was going on. It was a great escape.
Next we went on tour of the Nepali Coast, on a catamaran boat. It was amazing, we played with a whole slew of bottle nosed Dolphins, and we say sea turtles, and flying fish. The big finish came a bout 10 minutes before the tour was over. We saw a Hump Back Whale fly out of the water and make a huge splash. It breached the surface about 4 times. It was just a baby they said, but it still looked pretty huge to me. It was awesome!
On one of our lasts days there, we took a drive up to this canyon that wad 3 or maybe 4 amazing views. It was actually a really long drive but totally worth it. It was kind of rainy that day and we saw about 7 rainbows. It was so cool! Bailey loved seeing all the different colors and we just had such a good time.
Here is one last picture to show you ho beautiful this place is. We love Kauai! Thanks for sticking with this post, i know it is so long:)
