Hiking, Hiking, Hiking

We did this incredibly tough, incredibly beautiful hike twice! On Friday, we did 3 of the five miles in POURING rain. We had to turn around and come home because Crew's lips were turning blue and he was shivering so bad. He truly is local. Apparently 65 degrees is freezing for him!
Our sneaky little elf, Bernard, hid in the backpack and came on the hike with us. The kids were SO excited when they saw him!


We did the entire 5 mile trip today. Seriously perfect weather! At least a couple times a week I still think, "I can't believe we actually live here" because it is always postcard beautiful. I really do appreciate how beautiful Maui is. Anyway, this hike AVERAGES 13% incline. Legs are STILL burning. I also LOVE having a family of tough boys who can keep up with us. These are the times that their incredibly high energy levels work in our advantage!
