Waimea Valley

Saturday, Uncle Randy and Aunt Ann (Randy is Gil's mom's brother) took us up to Waimea Valley.  It was a lovely hike with tons of trees and beautiful flowers.

 I loved this one!  Green with white polka dots on one side and bright red on the other.


 At the top of the valley is a lovely waterfall and pool where visitors may swim.  Gil got in and took a turn around the pool.
 There is a nice, big green lawn in the park and there was a gathering of quite a few people.  The performer was singing Jack Johnson songs... and turned out to be Jack Johnson himself!!  What?!  So cool!
 We had lunch at a wonderful little place called Ted's.  We drove up to an overlook and were able to see Waimea Bay, which is close to where the Banzai Pipeline big waves are during the winter.
I was feeling really crummy by this time and I went back to the house and rested for the rest of the afternoon and evening while Gil explored nearby.  

We went to church with the Allreds on Sunday, had wonderful visits in the afternoon, I got plenty of rest, and then another one of Gil's cousins who lives on the island came over for dinner with his two children.  His wife, Luz, had a meeting and didn't make it for dinner.  Darrin's dad was Rex, another one of Gil's mom's brothers.  Jared and Kayla, Darrin, the two non-Allreds, and Aunt Ann.
Aunt Ann is a puzzle lover and we put a puzzle together that evening.  My favorite!
