Hope, saying "YAY! A day outside!"

Since today is a holiday, I had organized an outing up at Kualoa Ranch for the preschooler gang (plus a couple very grown-up 6 yr olds!). We hiked into the Ka’a’awa Valley, location for many movies and TV shows. The area just across from the ranch was also used as an airstrip during WWII and a huge bunker was built into the side of the mountains. The 15 kids and 12 grown-ups did a 5K hike to the bunker, an authentic recreation of a native Hawaiian village, learned about edible fruits, and checked out the movie locations. We had a great time and only had a few sprinkles despite heavy rain on the other side of the mountain. More pictures available by clicking on the photo to the left.
