I have been reading
every one's blogs out there and decided that you all need something to warm you up. A few days before Christmas we took the advice of a friend and visited the Macadamia Nut Farm. We are still not sure why it was called this because I really only saw one Macadamia Nut Tree on the whole place. Putting that aside though, we had a great time. It was kind of like a mini
PCC (
Polynesian Cultural Center) only much more intimate. I think there was only about twenty in our tour and half of those didn't speak
English. We saw a fire dance (video below), how to open and eat a coconut, how to make head pieces, and then they took us out in boat into the 800 year old fish pond built by King
Kamehameha the 3rd. While out there we saw where they filmed "Lost", "50 First Dates", "ER", "
Jurassic Park" and "Paradise Island". It was so fun. Mostly though Andrew just wanted to jump in the water...
After the boat ride we got to pick and sample a new fruit. Star fruit. Very good. I think the kids ate at least three a piece. Kind of like a apple but shaped like a star. Sorry no pictures, I was busy eating! All in all a great educational and entertaining day.
Thought this video could warm you all up on those cold main land days!

Sounds like a great place to visit. That was one thing about the PCC that I didn't like was that there were so many people and it was hard to get the attention you needed for your kids.
I think I'm going to move to Hawaii with the great weather you have!
Looks like ya'll had an awesome time!
