PCC
















We got free tickets to the Polynesian Culture Center as part of my orientation for school.  We had so much fun.  We especially liked the Tongan village and Samoan village.  And the night show was incredible.  In the PCC you get to make polynesian crafts, play games and watch various shows.  Adyson even got a fake maori tattoo!  She tried to eat it.  
We went to Haliewa and got original Hawaiian shaved ice.  Adyson really likes it.  She screams if you don't give her a tasted when you eat one.  And the prices are pretty reasonable.  Only 1.50!

Boogie Boarding

This is me right before I wiped out.  I ended up on top of this wave and then it slammed me on the sand.

Manoa Falls


This is Manoa falls.  We hiked there last weekend with Patrice.  The Falls are about 100 feet high.  I took about 45 minutes to get there and was a really pretty trail.  

Patrice's visit


Patrice came and visited last weekend and not only did we have a great time going to the beach, watching giant waves, hiking through a bamboo forest, shopping and hiking to waterfalls: but we got some fresh pineapple, cut them in half and put sherbet in them,  They were delicious!

Beautiful Hawaii

Hey this is Adam and I thought I'd give all of you an idea of what we are up to and help give you an incentive to save money and come visit us.  I snapped this picture near Haliewa last sunday when we took a drive around the North Shore to check out the 25 foot plus waves!  For reals, they closed all of the beaches up there and even cancelled the big surfing tourney since the surf was out of control.  I guess they had to make that call when a wave went up past the lifegaurd tower at Waimea Bay.  Anyway, I snapped a picture of one of our gorgeous sunsets.  Now keep in mind that we are only gonna be here for 2 years.  Come see us!
