Maunawili


On Tuesday morning last last week we went with Sam and Brooke to Kailua to hike Maunawili. It was spring break for us and everyone had the day off work so it was the perfect day. We started out soooooooo excited (well, me and Brooke did), taking photos of the ground, shoes, trees, anything really, we were just excited to be going. 1 hour+ and a billion million stairs later, we made it to the falls. It was awesome. We swam, ate, jumped off the rock, it was so good.
Here are some of the pictures from our day.

Guess who's the most excited....

My hiker boys.

The Tafuna family's first hike together.

As you can see, these "island" boys both wore slippers/jandels/flip flops, while we hiked up a mountain....

We're smart, we wore shoes.

Tui wrote "Tui <3's sera" on the tree...how sweet..... oxox

Tui the trail blazer waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay up ahead of everyone.

Some of the many....many..........MANY sets of stairs.

You're doing great son...
At the top! Or so we thought....
The hiker gang.

Best seat in the house!

I might have made it, but my shoes sure didnt...

We made it!!!!

After our swim.

This picture speaks for itself.....

It was tough work sitting up there the whole way.


I have to say, Tui was amazing. He isn't keen on hiking but came because he knew i wanted to go, and on top of that, he carried Malachi, our mini giant, all the way up and all the way down. What a trooper, thanks babe. oxo
