We had a spectacular view on our deck as we ate breakfast this morning before heading out for another day of fun.
We drove the last little bit of Hana Road and saw some more fabulous views:
We ended at Haleakala National Park where we hiked the Pipiwai Trail through the bamboo forest to a gigantic waterfall. It was about a 4 mile hike roundtrip and I was worried the kids wouldn't make it. Dax got a free ride most of the way there on Daddy's shoulders, and asleep in his arms on the way back; Ellie stayed close to Grandpa who helped her hike the whole way; and Cole was a champ hiking ahead of us with his cousins. They all did awesome!!
After our long hike up the mountain we hiked down to the Seven Pools for a nice swim and a little cliff jumping:
Ben jumped off the top of the cliff, and he talked me into jumping off the lower ledge. I made him hold my hand :) Cole and Ellie were adventurous and climbed along the edge to the waterfall where we saw a huge crawdad. It was an authentic Hawaiian experience!
The kids were all tuckered out by the time we were done:
We enjoyed another meal on our fabulous deck before FHE with the ENTIRE Coombs family! We are so blessed to have great family and be in such an amazing place!!
