A hiking we will go....a hiking we will go!

We have been hiking up a storm lately. How can you not take advantage of all this beautiful scenery and warm weather? 

Hike 1: Makapu'u Lighthouse

We first did this hike back in summer (the pics are earlier in the blog). Easy to push the stroller up it!

That's a long way down...now step away and quit making Mommy nervous

Our hiking partners!

 Girls:Trina, Whitney, Gwen

Dogs: Kami, Quesadilla, Taco Bell, Geo

Views of Koko Head crater from the trail

Hike #2-Lanikai Pillboxes

For this hike I bravely strapped William in the carrier and huffed it up the hill. No pics on the way up-I was concentrating on balancing a 20 lb weight on my shoulders!

Kaneohe-the same view from our beach

The Mokes!

Waimanalo (the opposite view from the first hike, you can see the rabbit island in the background)

William getting the easy way up

More of the Mokes

William didn't make it down the whole way down awake...

Hike #3-Manoa Falls (minus William)

We tried to hike the famous Diamond Head crater. Unfortunately it was closed for the day. Go figure. But, we made lemonade and hiked a nearby trail instead, Manoa Falls.

Really cool scenery

Massive trees

The topography changed as we ascended. Here is the bamboo jungle.

Manoa Falls. It has been very dry, so the falls are just a trickle.

Another topography change-mossy forest

Huh. This looked cooler in person than on film.
