1 Hiking with new group the Solemates, an offshoot of the Hawai'i Trail and Mountain Club. Today we're at Makapuu Lighthouse tide pools.
2 Ahhh... We saw a black crab scooting around, and lots of little fish. Behind us, a blowhole would spout two big blasts of spray and snort like a dragon. Sam loved it :)
3 The view from the top - we made it! Going up is much easier, actually :)
4 Special treat for hungry hikers! Sam walked all the way down the trail to the truck. Dave's Ice Cream in Waimanalo was a hit!
5 The lady (pronounced Zoo-key) just adores Sam and remembered him from 3 months ago! We had such fun enjoying him together.

7 We hiked up the hill then down this steep, craggy face (about 500' elev) to tide pools. It was dicey getting down there but worth it!
8 That's where we came from!
9 Trail snacks are so good!
10 Watching the fish.
11 Can you find the lighthouse? We swam in almost all the pools to check them all out :)
12 Bummed to be leaving the tide pools but it's time to head out.
