What a great last day in Hawaii! The weather was the best yet, and we had more adventures. We started with more surfing, this time the guys tried using the kayak paddles to get themselves out to the waves. We all had bruised rib cages after the last time we went surfing. It looked like a blast but they said it was still a lot of work. Darren and I swam at Temple Beach, and rewarded ourselves with Malasadas (donuts with filling) and a Diet Coke and hung out at Bikini Beach. What more could you ask for in life? Troy taught us breathing techniques to build your lung capacity. No one passed out, but Darren held his for 1 min. 10 sec., I did it for 1 min. 20 sec. and Troy for 1 min. 45 sec! This is so relevent because we will use this skill everyday when we go diving - oh wait, we live in Idaho!
The adventure for the day was a hike to Malakehana Falls. You know the Smith boys, no hike is going to be just a hike, just like diving isn't good enough when there is daylight, you have to do it at night. Well, this hike was no exception, it was so cool! It was a total jungle! It took us a total of about 3 1/2 hrs. Darren swam through a pool of water to climb to the upper falls, while Troy and I decided we didn't want to risk getting the parasite said to live in the water. Wait how did Diane get out of this? Something about responsibilities and teaching piano lessons (whatever). I had new sandals that didn't fit right, so that added a whole new dimension to the hike, but I survived! At least my feet looked the cutest! The price of beauty is high.
We have to say many thanks to Troy and Diane. Hawaii is so much fun with them. Mahalo! See you in Idaho in June!
We're heading to a BYU-Hawaii basketball game, then off to catch our plane at 11:30pm. See you tomorrow afternoon kids! Ready to eat some squid?
