Hawaii-hiking and beach time


Nate goes hiking with one of the insurance agents that he meets with in Hawaii almost every time he visits so of course they had to go with the kids there.  Hazel and I hung out at the hotel while they had a fun adventure.  The hike is an old rail line that was used by the military to get supplies up to the little 'boxes' they found shelter in.  It went straight up the mountain.  Nate said the kids did awesome and I think they all had a great time! 



What a view!



Gavin's highlight of the hike - geckos!




They enjoyed a yummy treat after their hard work.  We had too many malasadas (doughnuts) from Leonards and they were heavenly!


I think the kids could have spent the entire vacation at the beach and swimming pools and never complained.  They loved finding all the crabs and fish in the water and then playing at many of the different pools around the resort.  It was such a great family friendly place!






We spent a morning at Hanauma Bay. Nate and the boys got to do a bunch of snorkeling and found some pretty neat fish.




We all hiked to the top of Diamond Head crater.  It was an adventure with Hazel. She was pretty good for the hike up but cried the whole way down.  It was quiet windy but still worth the hike for the views! 





We attended church at a very old tabernacle in Waikiki right by our hotel.  It just happened to be the primary program that day so it was awesome! So fun!
