North Island and Mauna Kea Observatory

We drove around the northern side of the Big Island on Friday.  This is the viewpoint for Waipi'o Valley.

More delicious malasadas or Portuguese donuts.

I missed out on the shaved ice - Arthur was asleep in the McDonald's parking lot.

We cut across the island on our way back to the condo and stopped at the Mauna Kea information center.  We were hoping to use the solar telescope, but the whole mountain was shrouded in mist.

Hawaii: 'Akaka Falls

Let's pretend we remember this fun, short hike in the rainforest, and enjoying the beautiful waterfall, instead of fighting over binoculars and refusing to do anything besides sit on the bench.

Hawaii: Rainbow Falls

Rainbow Falls was amazing. I wished we'd planned better and stayed longer.  It was right in the middle of Hilo but felt so natural and awesome.

The kids climbed high into the banyan trees. 

We all played in the pools at the top of the falls.

The whole thing was very fun and magical.
