Picture Sharing Time: FRG Wives Hike!

On Saturday, January 22nd the boys and I decided to join a group of FRG wives (military wives) on a hike.  I've decided it's time to get out of the house more and explore Hawaii.  We've been here more than a year already and hardly have any exploring under our belts.  Of course, being pregnant for most of that year didn't help, but now it's time to get out there and see the island!  We had gorgeous weather and boy, was it a hike!  I carried Ryah in the Ergo, a type of baby carrier, and the boys walked.  We went in a group of about 20, and we had a blast!  Only one mishap...I took a fall after I got out of the car and scraped up my knee pretty badly.  It was scary because I was already wearing Ryah, but I managed to protect her and she was fine.

The hike we went on was Makapu'u Trail, which leads up to an amazing lookout and a lighthouse.  We had hoped to see whales but no luck this time.  The road to the lighthouse was also closed, but the views could not be beat.

Mikey was obsessed with the cacti...he insisted I take pictures

C'mon girls!  Halfway there!

Gorgeous view!

You can almost see the curve of the earth here

Some of the wives...whew that was a climb!

But the view was so worth it!

See that little black arrow?  That's our car!
