Day 10 - Rush to Get Everything Done Day

This was the day that we did the most because Casey and I were leaving. We woke up and left by 8:30am so that we could get to the other side of the island before the clouds covered the canyon. Mark Twain called Waimea Canyon the "Little Grand Canyon." It was pretty impressive. After the drive to Waimea, we went to glass beach where I collected a lot of pretty pieces of glass. It was a very beautiful beach. We got lunch after glass beach and Casey made us all nervous while he was on the phone getting all the details for the game. It was funny to see him jump up and down when we scored the last touchdown to win the game. We are Mountain West Conference Champions and ended the regular season 10-2, and we will be playing Oregon in the Las Vegas Bowl Dec. 21st. Yeah! We then went through the tree tunnel to the spouting horn. It was neat to see the water spray through the hole and it made a cool sound. Then we went snorkeling at Poi'pu beach and saw a seal, more eels, and a lot more fish. After that we went to the mall to see Garth's mom perform at a Luau. It was a perfect end to a wonderful trip.

Sporting School Spirit because BYU was playing against Utah that day. Casey was on the phone whenever we had reception to get the play-by-play of the game.

We just stopped at the side of the road for this one, but it was my favorite.
Waimea Canyon Lookout
Glass Beach
There were millions and millions of pieces of glass that the ocean had smoothed. I guess it used to be part of a Chinese tradition to throw glass when someone died, and this is what is left when they did that.
Casey climbed on the ledge to get a picture of the giant crabs
I don't even know what these things are

Casey took this picture and I thought it was neat
Tree Tunnel
There are wild roosters and chickens all over the island
Spouting Horn. It is from water being pushed through a very tight hole.
