I think every boy needs a camping trip once a year.
This year we went to the gorgeous Waianapanapa State Park in Hana (about 2.5 hours away from our condo)
The campsites here are these cute little cabins. Absolutely bare bones, only moderately operable, but perfect for camping and WAY cheaper than getting a tent, sleeping bags, mats, etc.
The path along the ocean was just a few steps away from our cabin. The kids explored blow holes, caves, palm, forests, etc.
The main attraction of this state park is black sand beach. The pictures with my point and shoot camera don't do it justice. The black rock and sand with the bright turquoise waters and lush green vegetation is awesome!
The boys braved the FREEZING cold water in this cave to explore with their underwater flashlight.
I got the boys bow and arrow sets which was a lot of fun. Daddy was of course the best!
What camping trip would be complete without a campfire and smores, even though it was still about 75 degrees at night!
UNO tournament - Daddy won this too, although I was a close second. I think most families let the kids win, but Geoff and I are too competitive for that!
Pancake and eggs in the morning to get us ready for our big 5 mile hike - stay tuned for pictures from the hike. It was my favorite hike ever! We had a blast!

Jen, that looks so cool! I love that you are seeing everything on that island and getting to spend all that time with the family.
wow! now, that would be much more up my alley for camping! cute cute pictures! wish we could have joined you :) those little "camping" bungalows are pretty much exactly what dusty and I rented the entire two years we back-packed asia. we were living high baby! ;)
{can't wait to see the hike!}
How fun!!!! Bryan can't believe that Geoff actually did that :) That is definitely the way to camp and the boys must have loved it! And you are right, pictures just don't show how cool black sand beach is. Did you stop and get the banana bread?
now that is the way to camp, if you have to do it!
The black beach looks amazing! I am so proud of Geoff, tell him this counts as Father/sons definitely. haha
I want to go to the waterfall next time with you guys!
