Showers! aka waterfalls

Grandma Julie carried Helen in the sling.  If it looks like we were walking through a jungle then you are spot on.  We spent one afternoon visiting a lot of different waterfalls.  This one was quite a hike.  It was very pretty though.  At one point we had to cross a little river.  The village kids were having a blast playing in the little waterfall created by the river.  When Siri got close to the river she was very apprehensive.  One of the village girls (naked of course) walked over to Siri very matter of factly, picked her up, carried her to the other side, then went about her playing in the water.  It was great.  Siri was completely shocked by the moment but we loved it.
Here is the waterfall that we hiked to.  There are huge fern trees here.  This is a branch that Erick found.  
Here we are on our hike.
At one of the waterfalls the owners of the property had a lovely garden full of Samoan plants that were identified with their common and scientific names.  They also had a Samoan drum.
 This is the beautiful garden.
