Hiking In Hawaii

After spending all day at the beach Friday, we decided to go hiking since some of the kids were sunburned and miserable. Jared's brother Mori, took us to go hiking on his day off. We went looking for a hike and couldn't quite find it. We were up in altitude and didn't even think we were in Hawaii...a little too cold and windy. (except for the beautiful blue ocean peaking out from the clouds)
The Maunawili Trail
We found another trail to hike after we left the scenic overlook. We left Bailey behind with her cousin Marissa who had a soccer game. We were trying to hike to a waterfall but started from the wrong end (the long way) and decided to turn around after we hiked for an hour or so. We thought it would be fun to swim in the water but there was a big sign that read...

NO THANKS!!!!

Sunday after church, we went on a walk to a lighthouse that overlooks the ocean. Bailey is not much of a hiker. We began the hike with her telling Jared that her legs were getting tired. I thought to myself "this is going to be a long walk..." but then we encountered the first of many dogs. Bailey and Naomi basically ran up to the top where the lighthouse was looking for their next dog to pet. We spotted a whale poking up out of the water a couple of times but they were more interested in dogs than whales.
