the great outdoors

all pictures from google)

i really miss hiking. it is something doug and i did often. before kids, that is. hikes i have done:
-pupukea
-the one in mokuleia (don't know the name, but you hike to the summit and can look down on makua valley on the west side)
-around kaena point (does that count?)
-laie falls
-laie summit
-the one behind BYU (forgot what it was called...)
-hauula lp.

-sacred falls
-one without a name in punalu'u, behind by green valley i think. there were flumes and it was neat, but i think it was private property.
-kahana valley
-the one in ka'a'awa to the waterfall
-maunawili falls
-manoa falls
-hanakapiai beach and falls (kaua'i)
-pololu (big island)
-honokane'iki (big island)
-black butte (oregon)
-three-fingered jack (oregon)
-marion lake (oregon)
-the one where you get really close to mt. jefferson -- don't remember what it's called. (oregon)
-pacaya crater in guatemala (i thought it was gonna blow any sec. because it was spewing sulfurous smoke, and i was so outta shape i thought i was gonna die. seriously.)

and i think that's about it, give or take a few. some i've been on several times, others just once. sometimes i wish i could just spontaneously up and go on a hike whenever i felt like it. but then, i am a mother now. and i can't go by myself. someday i want to do the na pali coast. that would be fun. for now i'm enjoying the fun baby hikes we go on together as a family.
