Waimea Valley is basically eye candy for a photographer! I love it there. You start at the front and hike through to a waterfall at the end of the paved road. All along the way is just about every plant and flower that grows all over the Hawaiian islands. It is beautiful.

The Boys....minus two
The girls
These are my favorite flowers from the day, I Love Orange! 
These are my other favorite flowers from the hike. I love the waxy green and the bright red contrast. 
Once we got to the waterfall, we swam over to it. The water was freezing and a very murky yellowish green. Lovely. The current as you got closer to the waterfall was really strong and Jared and I could barely swim around the base to get to the rocks below it. We definitely understood why life jackets were mandatory for all kids under age 12. Which was a little bit of a blow to Carter's self esteem! The first time Jared and I visited Waimea Valley about 8 years ago, they had Cliff Divers, but due to an accident and injury to one of the divers a few years back, they no longer have Cliff Divers.
