Hawaiian Water Adventure Park

Today we took to the kids to their all time favorite spot. Hawaiian Waters Park

They have a new ride called the Tornado. It is 145 feet tall, cost more than $2M to build and was a real blast to ride
Up to four people can ride the inter tube at a time (like below) but we only rode it with two at a time. It was a real adrenaline rush and a nice quick ride. The lines weren't long at all and Lynn and Amanda rode it twice.

This is our favorite spot to make as our staging area with all our clothes and towels. This is a very nice wave pool that Jake and Amanda can both have lots of fun. The 6 foot waves last about 20 mins and then they shut them down for about 10 mins to let everyone take a break

This ride is called the Volcano. It's an all out drag race to the bottom. On today's race it was just Amanda and I until the attendant called for 2 more people to join. During this time she had Amanda move up on her mat as the attendant held the mat with her foot to keep it from sliding. When she took her foot off and said go Amanda was long gone and had already gained a complete body length on me and I was unable to catch her before the end.

This is the very nice River walk. You can swim, float or do just about anything you desire. Jake likes floating and swimming. We did 2 consecutive laps today since there wasn't many people at the park.

This is the kids play area and today Jake went down the pink slide all by himself like all the other much bigger boys were doing.
This is the wave rider (for experienced surfer's only). We sit and watched today but Jake's wants to learn how to do this soo bad.

All in all a wonderful day in Hawaii and a wonderful day with the family at the water park
