Ahhh, it was a nice weekend. Our new-found shabbott service moved from Honolulu to the Waianae Coast, too far to drive with half the family. We missed out but had a semi-relaxing time all the same.
Abba took Eema and the three youngest on a munchkin sized adventure that Eema really enjoyed. It was a stretch for her at the Makapu'u lookout though cause the thought of one of the little ones randomly climbing a three foot high stone wall, running 20 feet and thrusting themselves over the cliffs was sometimes on her mind. You just never know what might happen on an adventure at a very popular tourist stop.
We headed to some fun tide pools near Sandy's beach where #5 was somewhat skittish with the nearby waves and decided to move more quickly than her balance allowed. She really knows how to turn a simple activity into an adventure.......things are always more fun when you are wet.
Lastly we headed to a research pier (no one fell off) and saw some needle fish. All in all we had a nice little Adventure with the little ones. (the big ones walked to the mall)

On Sunday, after church Abba took the 4 oldest to the 2nd most popular hike on the island, Manoa Falls? can you guess the most popular hike? Yes, it is very near Waikiki.
The hike is only 0.9 mile one way. We decided to leave the trail which was fairly pedestrian except for the mud, and head up the
raging river, slight exaggeration. It was more like a slight stream. We caught crawdads and the mosquitos caught us.
