Day two was hot! We headed out to explore the island. We didn't plan to be gone long, so weren't really prepared. We wanted to hike out to the lighthouse at Makapu'u. The trek was not as kid friendly as we imagined (a 14 month old in the Ergo and a 4 year old walking was too much). We hiked to the first peak to see the beautiful view and gaze out at the other islands. We then promptly went back down, thirsty, hot and tired. Most people with kiddos had strollers, umbrellas and lots of water. Next time! We then attempted to make it to Honolulu to shop Costco, thankfully there was one much closer as both kids were screaming and tired. That evening we had a scare, tsunami warnings and evacuation notices. Being unfamiliar with the island and seeing our street on the evacuation notice was unnerving. Thankfully everything turned out okay, but it sure was a long night!
Day three was Sunday, so we packed up early and headed inland to visit our former pastor and his church in Wahiawa. It was great to see he, his wife and three kids. We hung out after the service and reminisced about old times. That evening I took Aaden out for his 4 year old photo shoot on the beach at Kailua. It was really stormy, but we got some cool shots! {Will share in the next post}.
