Out of Order, but Katie and Maggie at the Botanical Garden

On Katie's next to last day of her visit (now, two weeks ago!), we went up to North Shore and went to mass at the mission church on the hill next to Waimea Bay (St. Peter and Paul) for Palm Sunday. After church, we had breakfast at the famous Ted's bakery, and then headed into Waimea Valley to the Botanical Garden. We absolutely loved our time in the garden, taking a historical tour to hear about how the ancient Hawaiians lived in the valley and seeing the remnants of the villages. We also REALLY liked taking a ridiculous number of flower pictures. At the end, we made our way to Waimea Falls and took a dip in the cool, fresh water. We swam out and sat under the waterfall as it pelted our heads and wished that we had someone on shore to take our photo!

The amazing peacocks!
