Hawai’i!!

Island of Kaua’i

In his hand are the depths of the earth; the heights of the mountains are his also. The sea is his, for he made it, and his hands formed the dry land. -Psalm 95:4-5

Known as the “Garden Isle”, it has lush green rainforests, cascading waterfalls, and some of Hawaii’s most spectacular scenery. This is an amazing part of God’s creative majesty!

90 percent of the island is not accessible by car. So we took a helicopter tour of the island.

We also learned a little about the Hawaiian language. Every word in the Hawaiian language ends with a vowel, and all words do not contain two consonants together.

We booked a helicopter tour of the Island of Kaua’i. First helicopter ride for both of us.
First stop: Manawaipuna Falls, also known as Jurassic Falls. These falls were featured in the opening scene of Jurassic Park.
As we turned around the bend of the mountains toward these falls the helicopter pilot turned on the theme music from Jurassic Park. It was pretty cool!
The pilot was also very cool about pictures. He took this with a prop that he has been using for years.
