he is one GREAT little guy, we sure love him and look forward to another month of fun!

Hawaii- day 6- one last hike and heading home

We got this recommendation for a good hike from some families in the area we live and are so glad we squeezed it into our last day
Sam and Cohen checking out the map

and the hike is on

family shot

the views on this hike were amazing for it being an easy hike!

we transferred Cohen to my back and he was much more comfortable with how the pack fits me the clouds were definitely rolling in but made for some amazing colors

Cohen thought it was very funny to take pictures and look at them while hiking

waterfall

and a very cool bridge at the turning point

we made it down JUST before this rain rolled in!

-

We then boarded our flight at 8pm and headed home...a great trip and definitely somewhere we'd love to go back to someday!

Hawaii- day 5- chooo chooo...

We decided to head to a local plantation that has a train ride to give Cohen a fun morning out.
smelling some flowers with dad

Sam with some plant envy...ours at home like this are not quite this size!

the plantation house

and the clouds over Mount Waialeale the wettest place on earth

checking out the donkeys before our ride

waiting to board the train

and we're on!

one hot little guy!

pineapples...it takes 2 years for 1 pineapple to grow!

time to feed the pigs

and the goats! sam was more nervous than cohen!

more...

back on board

then like our other nights we headed back to the hotel had a nap and then got ready for dinner and most of all to check out the elephants once again!

Cohen wanted some flowers in his hair like mom

back to the beach hut for burgers again...easiest option with cohen...

and a hawaiian shaved ice!then off to our luau!

waiting to get in Cohen discovered his pockets and put our tickets in them

when the drummers started cohen just yelled "cott...cott" which is uncle scott since he is a drummer

another long day! time for bed
