Since we came home from our Spring Break vacation a little early, we had time to do some family activities right here on Oahu before school starts back up.
We decided to take the kids on an easy hike up to Manoa Falls.
And despite the way being slightly muddy and rocky...they all walked by themselves without complaint. Even this guy!
Okay, so Kaden didn't walk the entire hike...we did have to piggy-back carry him for the last 15 minutes or so on our return trip, but all in all, they did great and despite a couple of mosquito bites, they all had fun.
The kids, each with their walking sticks as we traverse the path up to the falls.
And we made it!!
We must have had some good rain recently because the falls were pretty good sized! Not too big but definitely more than a trickle. The kids were duly impressed.
And since we packed some snacks for the trek, we stopped at the end to fortify our stomachs.
Spam musubis and chips.
On our way back, we discovered this little alcove build into the trees and bushes.
We snapped a quick picture and headed out before any more mosquitoes decided to make lunch out of us.
How blessed we are to live in such beautiful country!
To get to experience the natural beauty of Hawaii, is truly something I hope we never take for granted.
Equally grateful for this wonderful family we get to experience all of these adventures with.
Can you tell that Kaden enjoyed the hike?
