Horses - Peacocks - Waterfalls - Turtles!

Yesterday was great! Jon had to work, but the rest of us went back to the North Shore. First stop was Happy Trails where we went last year. Faith again rode Ducky (Eric's horse is Princess Leia!) Faith loves horses!
Faith loved the roosters, there were many!

After Happy Trails we went to Waimea Audobon Center where we had a picnic lunch. Peacocks are everywhere, especially around the picnic area. This one is perched on a staircase, right in front of a mirror. He was grooming himself and guess he used that mirror!
Here they are, at the bottom of the waterfall!! We walked through the gardens, which leads to the waterfall where you can swim.
Don't remember the name of this, but isn't it beautiful? Isn't she lucky that Daddy can still carry her on his shoulders?
Last stop was Turtle Beach. You should have seen Faith's face when she saw the turtle! I kept telling her there was a turtle in front of her and she kept walking, but didn't see it. As you can tell, they blend in with the rocks. We visited with the volunteer who told Faith that she could go in and swim with the turtles. So then she was ready for that! But it was just too late in the day. Maybe we'll go again!

A horse ride in Hawaii!! You can take the gal out of Texas but not the Texas out of the gal. Looks like you all are having a spendid time.

Without the rope there I think I would've tripped over a turtle too - they do look like big rocks.
