Camping Wainapanapa

For fall break, we went to Hana with about 5 other families. We stayed at the ghetto, but fabulous, cabins at Wainapanapa State Park. We have done this once before and it is a favorite with our boys. We have so many darling friends here with so many boys!
We stopped at a couple of places along the way to Hana.

Most of the kids packed into the back of the Gleeds truck.


The freezing caves at Waianapanapa.

Cave exploring - only a select few of the bravest boys and daddies did this. I was glad when they were done.

Air soft wars - a favorite activity of most the kids.

Sammy chopping something with his ax and Crew looking for someone to shoot. A boys paradise.
Liz made chicken and artichoke tin foil dinners for everyone - Yummy!

Look at the perfect form!

Dub and Caden both trying to woo Gabby


The kids found an awesome blow hole right down from our cabins. Once again, they loved it and I was just glad to return to the cabins safely with all of the children.

Of course, campfire at night with scary stories and all. We ended up with all the 8-9 year old boys in our cabin crammed into the bunk beds. I can't believe I didn't get a picture of the bunk room!!!

Games at night.
What would we do without babysitter Bri to watch the little ones?

Early the next morning, Caden and Ranger were the first to brave the powerful waves at Hamoa Beach.


Getting ready to come home.

The ride home - I'd say it was a successful trip!
