The Makapuu Lighthouse Hike

I hadn't been on this particular hike in a long time and thought it was a good one to start with for my out of shape pregnant state and to ease my mom into the steepness of the hills around here. It's also stroller friendly and since I had Saige with me, it was a good choice. Turns out, being pregnant, pushing a 20lb stroller with a 25lb child in it was much more difficult and tiresome than I had thought it would be. And here I was worried about my mother...A rare upclose photo of the actual lighthouse since it is closed off to hikers.
My sister demonstrating her illegal tendencies. We'll add this to the aloe plant situation.
My nephews checking out the bunkers at the very top of the hike.

A rare picture of my mom since she always hides from the camera.
A picture of my sister with my mom. Also known as a resting opportunity for me.
I always like to take pictures of things that are out of the ordinary and for some reason I am still surprised by the amount of cactus that grows here on the island. I always think of cactus as only growing in the desert. So this picture of a cactus growing off the mountain side with the ocean in the background is kind of cool. (At least I think so)
