Wow she is strong 
The kids loved the Lions...especially since the movie Lion King is their favorite right now 
Giraffes and Zebras

The kids saw two hippopotamus playing in the water 
Love Corben's tiger hat!

Hickam Airforce Base Dinner

Playing in a Banyan tree
You are really allowed to take pictures on base,
so we had to be quick and try to get a couple of pictures.
Hickam is right on the water and such a beautiful location! 
We had Mongolian BBQ with JoAnn and Mickey (step Aunt and Uncle)

Makiki Valley Hike

We hiked through a very tropical forrest
Lots of roots and lots of uphill was the start of our hike 
Our hiking crew
Corben, Caleb, Uncle John, Kirk, Mason, Papa John and Kathleen taking the picture
Papa John and Uncle John
The view of the ocean 
Banyan Tree 
Kirk carried Mason up the steepest parts and she fell asleep
Caleb carrying Corben 
Corben then got out and hiked for awhile with Uncle John
Over the bridge, once the trail leveled out a bit
A view more up hills, but Corben and Uncle John paced us out 
Crazy vines in the forrest

I guess Mason fell asleep again!
What a great challenging hike!
