A

The following are a few places recommended by tourists.

Ka’awaloa Trail

The pathway is steep and continues for about2miles each way,so the way there will be a lot easier than the way back.Keep in mind that the loose rocks may present a dangerous situation when slippery,so do carry the appropriate footwear and plenty of water to fight against the intense sun.

Mauna Kea Summit

Most hikers give themselves8to10hours to finish the journey.Don’t forget to register at the Mauna Kea Visitors Center before setting out,and plan on being back before sunset.The weather here is unpredictable and completely unique to the rest of the island.This area is pure wilderness,and altitude sickness is a definite risk,so researching the hike in advance on the Mauna Kea website is a must.

Waipio Valley Trail

Famed Waipio Valley,the former home of King Kamehameha,shouldn’t be missed by nature lovers.Be sure to catch a glimpse of nearby Hiilawe Falls from here,flowing1,300feet at the back of the valley.About6.5miles round-trip,this adventure will most likely be too difficult for beginner hikers due to the steep inclines(倾向)and length.

Onomea Bay Trail

Onomea Bay offers two different hikes from the Mamalahoa Highway in Papaikou.The first,the Donkey Trail,follows a stream through the Hawaiian rainforest past a small waterfall and to the ocean.The second, Onomea Trail,goes just to the right of the Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden and past the Alakahi stream.Many choose to combine the trails or pair the hike with the botanical garden for added adventure.

From20-pound turkeys to red and green Christmas cookies,with their emphasis on food,experts agree that the holidays are an ideal time to get kids involved in the kitchen.

"I think it helps build up their confidence and their independence,"Charleston-based chef and mother-of-two Aimee Jones said."They say,‘Look,I can do this.I can make and feed myself something yummy.’Especially when they can share it with their parents,it definitely helps them build confidence in themselves."

Instilling(灌输)a comfort level with cooking at an early age can create a life-long habit of making meals at home and help to foster a healthy relationship with food.

"This is the age when everything we teach them gets stuck in their heads,"Nico Romo,chef and owner of Nico Oysters Seafood and father of three said."If something goes wrong with the heat on the stove,they know they can handle it.They can turn it off.And they’re using their hands to create things.They can already draw and do all those things,so why can’t they hold and chop a vegetable?You show them and watch them.It’s a lot of fun."

Involving children in creating their favorite holiday treats also makes for a one-of-a-kind bonding experience. "For better or worse,you will get to know your children,and they you,more deeply when you cook with them.For better,you will share recipes,techniques and anecdotes that you learned at the elbows of mothers,grandmothers and great-grandmothers long gone,"they wrote.

"For worse,you will huff and puff and whine(埋怨)and lose your patience when they accidentally spill heavy cream all over the kitchen table while making mini-shortcakes with berries,but they will love you anyway, teaching you,the one who’s supposed to be the grown-up,about unconditional affection and ready forgiveness."
