Super Saturday

While Heather was here we did a full Island tour last Saturday. Even though the kids had colds, they were great with all the driving around. We headed down south toward Volcanoes National Park (a must when you come to the Big Island).

First we stopped at Black Sand Beach on the way to Volcanoes. We just dipped our feet in the water.

Heather and Gabriella cooling their toes. Olsen was sleeping in the car, so Byron napped with him.

This is the crater at Volcanoes. There is steam still sneakin' out

Yes, we let our kids hang on the bars. You know, the ones over looking the deep crater.

Yes. even the one year old.

This inside the lava tube. It is very wet and damp. but very cool. I love walking through it, there really is nothing like it.

There is a rain forest surrounding the lava tube. This just out of the lava tube. I think this is the first family picture we've taken since we left the hospital with Gabriella.

Heather, me and Gabriella making use of the of the log

Olsen decided to climb a tree

And Gabriella wants to do whatever Olsen does now. It can be a little scary sometimes

It is all about licorice and M&M to keep kids happy in the car. Here we are in Hilo fillin' up on gas.

Gabriella LOVES licorice........

She made a mess of herself. But did I care, NO. Why? Because she was happy and not crying to get out of her carseat

Beautiful Rainbow Falls. When the sun is shining (it was overcast that day) there is always a rainbow.



Man, these two are impossible to take a decent picture together. Is it too much to ask for? Just one good picture together?
