Manoa Falls

This morning we got the girls up and went on a little hike to Manoa Falls. When we got there there was one other car in the parking lot, and he was on his way down as we were just starting. The girls did awesome in the back pack carriers. Since the falls are close to the mountains it was a little wet and muddy. The trail is not to long about 1 1/2 mile hike. There wasn't much water going down the falls but it sure is high up at about 150 feet and falls into a small pool at the bottom. It was a fun hike the only bad thing that went wrong is that I had given this cup to Kira to drink out of and half way to the end she drops it down the hill. I guess I will learn to tether her cups or she doesn't get one.

It has an aquarium in it that holds 280,000 gallons of water with about 400 fish. I was a little embarrassed because Jay forgot his tennis shoes and I forgot slippers to wear so our feet were a little muddy, but we were hungry. The food was yum-o. The brunch it self cost about 21 a person and the kiddos ate off our plates. As far as price goes you can easily spend that a person a Chilli's , but you have tons more food choices. I went straight to the prime rib carving station and omelet station. We enjoyed poke, crab legs with peel and shrimp. I tried the salmon and pork dish with pineapple. Lots of fresh fruits, cheeses and crackers-not to mention the array of desserts.
