Makiki Valley Hike

We hiked through a very tropical forrest

Lots of roots and lots of uphill was the start of our hike

Sea Life Park

On our way to Sea Life Park we stopped at the Blow Hole...a popular tourist destination....there were a couple of different Asian women who asked to take pictures with Corben and Mason.  Both kids did great and obliged, this is the only photo of the photos we took.
