Ava took her first trip to Hawaii (hence the lack of posts). She decided she needed to see the whole island in one day.
The first stop was a black sand beach, Punalu'u.
|
"I love sand between my toes." |
|
"And over my toes." |
|
"Papa, why do you still have your shoes on?"
|
|
"Goodbye lovely beach."
Next, we stopped by the volcano.
Papa found a way to make certain Ava looked at the camera.
|
|
"I'm pretty sure I should keep my eye on that steaming lake of lava."
After a lovely lunch in Hilo, we went to Rainbow falls. |
|
"This is one tasty hat." |
One waterfall was not enough, so we also went to Akaka Falls.
Getting there was a bit of a walk.
|
"Notice that Papa's head is down. That is not because he was hauling my 19lbs, but because he had to check the football score." |
|
"We made it!"
|
|
"Grandma looks so pretty by the falls." |
|
On the way back to the car we saw bananas. |
Finally, we stopped at Tex Drive In for malasadas.
|
We were too busy eating to take a picture, so I borrowed this one from someone else. |
After that we were ready to head back to Kona.
|
We made it home in time to see the sunset.

Aloha. |
