Surf Girls

 Some of us girls went on a surfing lesson adventure.

 It was a definite highlight of the trip for me.

 Our instructor and me.

This is me at the end of the week. Not! We were told by Ken's mom at the beginning of the week not to hold back. She said " I don't want anyone to go home with regrets, this is a trip of a lifetime." Her advice made me get over my fears and go for it. I was so happy that my face hurt from smiling at the end of that day.

Our pig was roasted under ground. Check out the guys pecks! Must've been a heavy pig.

 Mahi Mahi , roasted pig, salads. 

Waimea Falls Hike

The waterfall itself wasn't very impressive but everything else on the hike was amazing.

Lots of movies were filmed in this rain forest: Lost, Jurassic Park, The Hunger Games to name a few. The smells and sounds and colors were so intense.
