Day 6 Continued: Saturday June 6th
One of the things we passed was a small elevated clearing, so we went to check it out. There was an employee up there who came over to teach us some of the traditional games they had set up there. They were different but similar setups where 2 people stand on opposite ends and try to get an object through an obstacle. One was with sticks, and the other was a round piece of wood.

The kids, especially DD, were hesitant to try them out at first. But once we got going, they actually found it to be a lot of fun! One not so fun part for me was that I was still dealing with the injury to my knee from the slip on Diamond Head, and then DS rolled one of those pieces of wood right into my shin!

DD had gotten a hold of the camera, and it cracks me up the photos she was taking.

A super close up of some leaves she liked! Lol And I took a photo of her taking the photo because I thought it was so funny.

There was a pathway with replicas of some different types of buildings.

They had these scoopers to pour water on the leaves to show how the water beads up and rolls off. That was pretty cool!

By now we had made it back to the beginning of the trail, and it was well past our usual lunchtime. They had a food location there at the Valley, so DH went to check out the options & prices while DD and I went to the restroom. There was a surprise visitor walking around!

One of the famous places to eat on the North Shore is Giovanni’s Shrimp Truck, and that had been our original plan for lunch. But by now, we knew the wait would probably be very long as it was peak lunchtime. One of the other places I had put on our list was Teddy’s Bigger Burgers. It looked like a fast casual place to eat that we would probably enjoy, and it had a few different locations around Oahu. After pulling up the menu and comparing it to the options at Waimea, it looked like we could get more for our money at Teddy’s, so we left Waimea and headed there instead.

It took a little while to find a place to park on the street, but eventually we found something that was within walking distance of Teddy’s. Once there, they had a sign at the counter for a family box that included 2 burgers, 2 children’s entrees, 2 large fries, and 4 drinks for $30, which seemed perfect for us! We devoured that food, we were all so hungry by then!
After lunch, we still managed to find some room for shave ice! It was only a couple of minutes down the street to get to Matsumoto Shave Ice, which had a long line outside. But there was some Hawaiian dancing and singing going on in the little courtyard area, and they move very efficiently inside so it moved quickly.

Seeing people come out with their shave ice, we knew we didn’t each need one. We decided on one rainbow (strawberry, lemon, and pineapple), and one watermelon to share.

They also give you straws for once it starts to melt. DD couldn’t wait to have hers with the straw!

There are lots of shops in Haleiwa to check out, so we looked through several hoping to find something to bring back for my nephew who is due in September, but there was a real lack of good things to get for an infant unfortunately. We shopped until about 3:30 and finally that early wake up was starting to get to us. We were TIRED. I had a couple of beaches I had wanted to check out on the North Shore, one that is famous for sea turtle sightings and one that was the main beach for the survivors on one of my favorite TV shows of all time, Lost. But really by then, the effort of driving around, trying to find parking, and dealing with sand didn’t sound appealing, so we started back to Waikiki.
It was also our last night in Waikiki at the Wyndham resort, so we had to spend the evening packing. We had leftover pizza for dinner while washing clothes and packing and reorganizing for our move the next day over to Aulani!
