The Beach

We spent a lot of hours at the beach!  The kids favorite thing to do is run from the waves and play in the sand.  Hearing and seeing the sights and sounds of the ocean always makes me feel so happy.  My favorite sight is seeing my kids so lively and free.

Hawaii was so good to us!

 

 

 

Hiking Hawaii

We love to hike, especially in Hawaii.  We went on three hikes that were completely different in every way.  Each one magnificent and unique!

Our first hike was Diamond Head, it was set up as a war bunker and had some really amazing history attached to it.  It also had A LOT of stairs attached.

Makapu'u Point Lighthouse Trail was a beautiful hike up to fantastic views.  It was the only time that we saw cactus in Hawaii, very interesting.  We also so some awesome spiders, big waves and scary look outs.

Rainforest Waterfall Hike was by far our favorite.  Just 20 minutes from Waikiki you can find a "jungle", it was breathtaking walking through a jungle.  The sights, sounds and even smells were a new experience for all of us.  At the end of the hike we found a beautiful waterfall and once again our breath was taken away, not by the sights though, by freezing cold water.
