We headed to North Shore!

North Shore is one of my favorite places on Oahu.  Had it not been that January is a high tide/surfing season, we would have stayed there.    On this day, our first stop on the way to North Shore was the Dole Plantation for some Dole Whips and to look around.  The grand kids each got to pick a pearl from the clam (or mussel?) shell.  Each were really pretty and a different color, pink, black and gray.  After that we went to Motsomoto's on North Shore for shaved ice.  There is nothing quite like Hawaiian Shaved Ice!!!!  And they have the best.  After that we headed to the beach to watch the surfers and the huge waves.  It was so fun playing on the beach for a bit.  After that we went to Waimea Falls Park and hiked to the falls.  The water was pretty cold.  But, Ethan, Allie, and Kaleb were real troopers and got in and swam.
