The amazing HIKE!!

Today we went on a hike to an amazing waterfall!!! It was an 8 mile hike. 4 miles there, 4 miles back. The boys played mini golf with my grandma while we were hiking. Before we got to the waterfall we stopped at the ocean to eat lunch. There were wild kittens living there. When we got to the waterfall, my dad and Uncle Brian went swimming in the freezing water. My dad came out looking blue and shaking. We went down the river and found what was like a small pool. We all decided to go swimming. Everyone jumped off a rock into the freezing cold water. It took a while for everyone to convince me to jump in. When I did I regretted it. The water was freezing! Then we walked back to the car. On the way home Samantha decided that she wanted a coconut. We saw one in someone’s yard and we grabbed it. They had lots more, so they wouldn’t mind. Here’s some trivia………What is the name of the tallest waterfall in Kauai?--Joslin

We were half way to the waterfall and we saw lots of stray cats.  They were so cute. The black kitten was my favorite.  We went to a smaller lake below the waterfall and I jumped in four times.  We hiked by an amazing grove of tall bamboo. There is a beach that if you try to swim in the water you can die because the current will suck you out into the ocean and smash you against the rocks.--Samantha

The answer to yesterday’s trivia is  hurricane Neki in October 2009.
