Hiking Club


So...We got really into climbing tall green mountains last week.  Yep, we climbed 3 in one week.  On Tuesday we climbed Crouching Lion with JJ and Erika Peterson and Jesse Price.  Awesome hike...glad the children survived.

.....And on Thursday we went with Jesse to Sacred Falls



On the trail there were these bright pink plants that shed their bright pink confetti on the forest floor.  Ruby danced in it and said that when she turns 15 and becomes a punk rocker, she is going to dye her hair that color.  I told her no.




Its hard to capture it with the limited lens of a camera, but the walls of the canyon coming up to the waterfall were hundreds of feet high, strait up, and as narrow as the gooses neck.

....And on Saturday we hiked to the Makapuu Lighthouse with the Bennetts and the Nortons 






Raleigh is the man



Super fun.  We love our hiking partners.  Afterward we went and ate a very special hotdog.  It was called a 'puka dog'.

Sincerely,
Cob

I love your narration, Erik. Especially the bright pink confetti part. And Ruby dancing in it. You're poetic, My Son.
