Today we drove up to Waimea Canyon, which is the largest canyon in the Pacific. The views were beautiful.
The chicken is Hawaii's state bird and they are everywhere. There are lots of baby chicks right now too.
Ryan really enjoyed Waimea Canyon. He kept asking to stop at the different lookout spots, so we stopped at three different spots for lookout.
After we saw the canyon we looked around the town of Waimea, did some shopping, stopped at Shrimp Station for lunch (they have great coconut shrimp!) and JoJo's for shave ice. Below is a picture of Ryan eating his shave ice.
Then we stopped at Salt Ponds Beach. This beach is partially protected by a reef to make the water calmer for the kids to play in. The kids really enjoyed an area that was shallow and right against the reef where they could wait for waves to come over the rocks. Below is a picture of Connor one of the first times the wave came over the rock. He was a bit surprised by the waterfall.
But, then the kids would wait for the waves to come down on them.
I climbed up on the rocks to take a picture with the kids.
Then, a wave came....
Ryan and I ended up being pushed off the rock by the wave, but Connor managed to stay up there.
Here Connor and Ryan are waiting for a wave to come.
After the wave...
The kids also enjoyed making sand castles and watching them get washed away by the waves.
