What did we do this week? Well see week 2! Ha Ha! We snorkeled, visited Hapuna Beach, Kua Bay Beach, did our favorite hike, Pololu (we spent 5 hours this time climbing trees, exploring, building structures with driftwood, balancing on fallen trees, eating strawberry guavas and hiking!) and we visited the waterfalls of Hilo again! This time we found a waterfall way in the back of Rainbow Falls. There is a giant pool of fresh water leading up to the waterfall. The sides of the pool had sheer rocks that were all squared off--it almost looked manmade! I've never swam in clearer fresher water! It was amazing!! We got to spend a lot of the week with the Sanders Family who are visiting! It's been great to get to know them!
Lauren enjoying the fire show!
Pololu
We came across this shelter, which prompted the kids to make their own!
We got some rain this day, which made for the most beautiful rainbows up top!
The kids had to climb every branch they could! This log is actually very high up!!
Lauren and Sydney's driftwood tent! They finished it just as the rain started coming!
We spent 2 hours at Kolekole park, the kids did this rope swing for a solid hour! I don't know how they find the strength! After you swing off the rope into the water, you battle the waves from the ocean that are hitting the stream flowing in the opposite direction. Then you have to pull yourself up out of the waves onto the rocks to do it all again!
Behind the waterfall!
Thanks Sanders Family for being so fun and adventurous this week!
This is the waterfall behind Rainbow Falls! Beautiful swim!! Kaycee had changed out of her suit after Kolekole, and she was SO mad that she couldn't swim with us! Next time Kaycee! :)
When you see a giant Banyan tree, it's always best to climb it as high as you can!!

Snorkeling at Mauni Lani Beach!
Here are the videos of our week--I guess you can only see these if you are on a computer though, they won't pull up from on a phone or tablet.

Sharon, these gang signs are so disturbing! Westside? Waterbabies? Waste all punks? :)
Ha ha Mom! It's a Shaka, it's the hello sign in Hawaii! Everyone does that instead of waving! :)
That rope swing looks like so much fun! I am sure its a good work out with the waves coming in! I love the family pictures. I can't tell who the parents are! What a beautiful place and that rainbow is beautiful! hugs to your family and I love seeing these updates! -di
