Manoa Falls Hike

Yep. Hiking Again. This one wasn't too crazy--just a nice walk through a Hawaiian forest to a waterfall. Last Friday was Statehood Day...51 years since Hawaii became the 50th state in the United States of America. Its a state holiday of course, so the kids were out of school and most everyone was off of work. Our good friends Bryan and Marybeth called and invited us to go hiking with them and their girls and some other friends and I'm always up for that!

Here's Nora's ride for the day. I feel like i can watch her grow through pictures of her in this carrier. There was a time where you couldn't even see her head inside it and now look at her! Just like everything else, Nora and Holden are night and day when it comes to their carriers. Nora loves to face outward and watch everything. When we hike she stays alert almost the whole time and you have to turn her into your body and hold her close, almost forcing her to take a nap...there's just so much to look at she can't stand missing anything. Holden on the other hand, rides in my moby wrap curled up against my back and falls asleep about .5 seconds after i start walking. Who knows how with all the rough movements, but he basically sleeps the entire time.
Our Hiking Caravan...can you see HRB on my back? stopping at the cool trees/archway, yep HRB is already knocked out on my back

we made it to the falls...i know it doesn't look like much, its very tall, and the size of it depends on how much it has rained

After the hike, we all "tailgated" and had lunch. Holden had some "guy-time" with Uncle Bryan. The babies each ate a banana, some grapes, craisins, and puffs. These days you can't be eating in front of them and not give them something...but they aren't ready for the PB&J's quite yet!
