Last One, I Promise.

We are very nearly back into the swing of things here so I promise this will be the last post where I shamelessly post vacation pics...
Picture
On our very last day (as in, mere hours before we drove to the airport) we decided it would be a good idea to go for a hike. I had really wanted to take 5 for a beautiful (but somewhat short and spider-free) hike but weather and chaos had made it near impossible. So drove to the arboretum somewhere near Wailua, where all the flooding and rain-disaster stuff was going on, and climbed up into the mountains. It was a gorgeous, warm, sunny day, with no rain- hooray!
Picture
We climbed uphill for close to an hour on a wide, fantastically spiderweb-free trail and saw birds, geckos, chickens, and scenic views all along the way.
Picture
When we arrived at the top, much to my relief, there was a big grassy area with picnic tables and an amazing view of like a 100 mile radius.
(For those of you who noticed that I am wearing rubber boots and fleece socks in this picture and think that I am completely insane, I will tell you that the reason I hated hiking for my whole childhood was that I tended to hike in flipflops or tevas and I hate muddy feet, so I am not crazy, but perfectly comfortable and happy.)
Picture
I got to let my back (and the rest of me) dry off and 5 got to run. And learn about cliffs. And how we don't run off of them.
Picture
5 found some super fun sticks and dirt and probably would have been okay just living there at the top of the mountain with sticks and dirt and leaves to throw over the cliff.

His favorite thing lately is throwing. I tell you, it's not really my cup of tea, but he is awfully cute when he does it.
Picture
Even when he's throwing something in my eye...
