We have been here on the beautiful Big Island of Hawaii since Monday and today, I discovered that we have internet access! I wish I had realized it sooner because I would have updated my blog! I am planning to do a day by day run down of our trip but since that will take awhile and we are off to the farmers market and the beach in a bit, I just wanted say a quick aloha!
We've had a great 5 days so far. Seen alot but realized that we won't be able to see it all... The Big Island is, in fact, big and our days are shorter with two kids who don't want to be in the car all day who need frequent stops, and have to be in bed at a decent hour. We've managed to have some interesting (and one pretty scary) adventures and this is a vacation we won't soon forget.
I'll leave you with one picture before we head out for the day. I took this one on one of our adventures... wish I had my tripod with me but I had to carry Collin and a backpack for a mile walk accross a cracked lava field. We are so lucky to have gotten to seen Pele's work in action, a real lava flow making it's way to the ocean.

ohhhh have fun! can't wait to see more pics!!! :)

So beautiful! I am jealous! You are going to give me some tips on what you did with the kids in Hawaii. We recently decided against Hawaii (on vacation) because of the kids. Have a safe and fun trip.

Aloha... How fun! I wish I were in Hawaii too. So cool you got so close to "Liquid Hot Magma" (say like Dr. Evil)
Enjoy the rest of your stay.
