Famed Hawaii

When you ask someone what they think of Hawaii, most people think of sandy beachs with palm trees and a bunch of people surfing with leis ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ„๐ŸŒด . What they don't think of are the volcanos ๐ŸŒ‹ and the other stuff๐Ÿ”ซ๐Ÿ’ฐ๐ŸŽถ๐Ÿ‚๐ŸŽฟ๐Ÿ“ˆ๐Ÿ“‰and all of the bad things( cause no one talks about it)! My favorite things about Hawaii are the ancient people, surfing and natural disasters-๐ŸŒ‹๐ŸŒŠ☔⚡!

The first settlers or natives on Hawaii were the the Polynesians who came through New Zealand to Hawaii and now they are fighting about who came up with the Haka ๐Ÿ˜  but it was most likely the Polynesians did and anyways they are different dances with the same names. What interest me most about the the ancient peeps is -war๐Ÿ˜‘๐Ÿ‘ฟ๐Ÿ”ซ. The Hawaiians or Polynesians ended up very mmmmm๐Ÿ™holy? Yes but also conflicted๐Ÿ˜ณ. They had fights with nearby tribes in organized fist fights.
And settling it that way (like manly men). Then Capitan Cook came along and gave them guns to play with and made an easier to kill ๐Ÿ˜ฑ. With Cook's guns, King Kamehameha I thought it was a good idea to take control and unite the Hawaiian islands but got stuck on Kauai (good job Kauai) cause of storms and stuff like that, but Kauai thought they'll get here eventually and surrendered noooooooo๐Ÿ˜ฅ. After that when he died, King Kamehameha II took power and had a dinner with his mom (which was forbidden cause of the Kapu system( Kapu is a system that some one made up so that the genders were separated )and started a war with some dude that was a supporter of Kapu( we even passed the battle field when K and I were going cliff jumping with JGs off what the locals call end of the world(it's like 30 feet))! 


With the Polynesians, along with pigs, cows, coconuts and a couple of diseases, there was surfing. One dude had a huge board that was like 50 feet long or at least that's what it looked like in the poster at the library. Also the people used to go out nude with there wooden boards to surf even back when Captain Cook was around. Anyways I got my goal,๐Ÿ™‰I stood up for a while and did zig zags!!! This week  at pine trees the waves were very small so it was hard to get good waves but mommy and I got some! Next week I hope the waves are big but not huge like the waves in Hawaii are famous for.
Hawaii contains many wonders but people barely ever think how Hawaii has skiing ๐ŸŽฟ. The thing is that it makes sense because usually it snows up high and Hawaii is just a mountain range in the middle of the ocean and it has the tallest mountain in the world. On the big island you can ski in the top of Mauna Kea but there isn't a resort or anything but that's OK cause u can use your car as a lift but I looked it up and you need 4 wheel drive so we can't go and it is not winter. So far almost every day it has been raining here and recently we were just missed by a hurricane- no wonder the waves were choppy! Also in the last week we are hoping to be done with the house so it'll be our party week and we are probably going to see the volcano!

Finally,junior guards was fun and now Kayley and I can give people medical aid and CPR and we've been certified 2 times (at Morro Bay JG's and here) so I am double certified! Just a recommendation, but if you come to Hawaii to see volcanos, you should go cliff jumping at End of the World cause it's very fun even though it seems scary when you look down off the cliff and when your falling.  Anyways, I was just picking at the wall in the dining roomand found a bunch of termite damage! Mommy will have fun with the Bondo!๐Ÿ˜„
