Sacred Falls

Our last hike was to Sacred Falls. It's located on the Northeast side of the island, just before Laie. This hike was a little hard to find also, but so worth it. The hike portion was much easier and the waterfall was amazing. The cliffs surrounding the stream were unbelievable. This waterfall was definitely the fastest flowing with the biggest pool we've seen yet.

Risky Business

Last Monday, Jo and I took a hike to some waterfalls not far from Honolulu. It was a little risky when we started because there were dogs blocking the way and they instantly ran towards us barking. I was a little scared, I'll be honest. I continued being scared as we walked down the side of a large hill to get to the trail. The trail followed a ridge up to a set of beautiful waterfalls. The trail at times was pretty tricky, it got really narrow at certain times and many falls were had by both of us. Luckily they were just minor and we didn't end up at the bottom of the ridge. The falls were beautiful. After reaching the first one we hiked up the side of it to see another falls right above it.

This hike was really fun and beautiful, but it was definitely on the risky side!

Waimea Bay

Peter and I headed up to the North Shore to spend the day with my friend Susanna and her family. Susanna was a mission companion of mine and I have not been able to hang out with her much over the years, so it was so fun. We went to Waimea Bay and did some skim boarding and paddle boarding and of course some catching up. It was a beautiful day.

On the way home we stopped in Haleiwa for some shaved ice at Matsumoto's. We ended the day off with the movie Inception. Peter and I had not seen it yet and we had heard from everyone how it was a must see. It was good!

The rest of the weekend was spent resting, studying (for Peter), watching football, and listening to conference. It was a great weekend, can't wait for the next one!

Diamond Head Hike

Yesterdays activity was to hike the Diamond Head Crater. It wasn't the most beautiful hike on the way up, but the view at the top was really beautiful. The workout was great though.

practice, practice, practice

Peter came home last night and practiced his suturing. His skills were pretty impressive. Love that boy!

While Peter is working.....

I've been here. There is a pool on the beach that we have access to in Waikiki and I've been loving it. Lots of sun and reading while enjoying the sounds of the ocean. Seriously, my life is pretty great!

Peter delivered his first baby

Okay, maybe he didn't deliver it himself.... but he was there and helping. He also got to participate in a C-Section yesterday too. He is working in the labor and delivery this week so he'll probably get to see a lot of cool things this week.

On a side note, one really cute thing they do at the hospital here is that they play "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" every time a child is born. Love that!
