Madd Max Hikes the Cloud Forest

But first, a morning of zoning out.

Shoe cleaning station for entering and exiting the rainforest.

The Jurassic Trail.

Where it rained, and the fam stopped a few times under tree canopies until the rain lessened.

A boy charging with a stick.

Madd Max Heads To The Keiki Ponds

In the calm, shallow water.

Beautiful.

The fam heads in for some snorkeling, where they even got to see an eel.

Aiden is so ready.

As are Sonia and Max.

Clara spent some time with Sam and Aunt Tara on the beach.

Madd Max Has A Full Hawaii Day

Morning pool time.

And out of the pool time.

Double rainbow.

The entire family headed out star gazing, and Jess got to stay home with Clara for some movie watching super fun.

Madd Max Have A Family Meal

Which was also Aiden's birthday dinner of lasagna.

The family was just a wee too big to sit at one table.

Our first sunset.

Aiden's birthday cake and song.

And some final tickle time.

Madd Max Hit Kahalu'u Beach Park

On the drive over, Max said he absolutely would not snorkel because, "he would die."

As it turned out, he did not, and discovered he loved snorkleing including the 3' long fish he and Sam swam by.

Back at home, the view of the house form the pool.

Madd Max Has A First Hawaii Morning

The lanai.

And the view from said lanai.

The view from Jess' mobile office.

Hot tubbing.

Hitting the pool surrounded by grandkids.

Madd Max Waits

You do what you have to, to be near a power source in the airport.
