Waimea

I made this fish with a couple Hawaiian ladies at Waimae:)

Waimea

After hanging out on the beach for a bit Paul and I walked to Waimea Falls and these next group of pictures were taken along the way!!

Paul and I went to Waimea Bay a week ago. Although it was a cloudy day that didn't stop Paul from riding the waves! He is the one in the middle:)

The North Shore

My grandma's friend lives on Maui, but was on Oahu house sitting for a friend. Her and I met up and hung out at a few beaches on the North Shore for the day:)

After our long walk in the valley we came home to a peacock mating ritual in our backyard lol. The males (peacocks) spread their feathers and fan them (making a loud fan noise) and turn slowly in circles towards the females (peahens). It is pretty funny to watch. I couldn't take a video because I didn't have enough memory on my camera at the time, but I will try to take a video next time!

These last few posts have all been of trees behind out condo complex:)

I seriously love that most of the trees have flowers in them:)

More cool trees:)

A lot of the trees here are really pretty because they all grow different kinds of flowers.

Another pic of the different cacti behind our complex.

Pretty cacti behind our condo at the entrance to the valley.

Another small waterfall we climbed up along the path.

There was water running down the mountain from earlier rains, so as you walked along the path this is what you heard.

Here is a short video of one of the little waterfalls along the path:)

Doing some exploring:) It rained the whole day and night before this so there were small waterfalls everywhere along the path. It was really cool to hearing the running water during our walk.

Here we are walking the path. There are a few big houses and ranches tucked in the valley.

This is the path behind our place that we walked that goes into the valley.

Here is a little bit more of a close up of the back of our condo complex.

While our laundry was in the dryer, it was a little cloudy out so we decided to pass time by going for a hike on the trail behind our condo that goes into the valley. Here is a pic of the back of our condo complex. You can see the Golf course that surrounds it.

Over the weekend Paul and I were leaving our condo and this little stick bug greeted us outside our door :)
