Monday on the East side




Hilo- here we come...
Today Steve, the kids and I went to visit our old meeting grounds... Hilo. We had a great day!! We first went to Akaka Falls- waterfall. Aydin was so surprised to see how big the waterfall actually was. Morgan was funny- she kept saying 'WOW'. We hiked around the loop- took tons of pictures and Aydin even tried sucking the 'juice' out of ginger flowers. (Which he loved)
We then went out to Hilo, drove around a few of the places we used to hang out, where I used to live and of course the beautiful black sand beach- Richardson's. This is where Aydin tried snorkeling for the first time. He couldnt believe how many fish were so close the the shore. Of course we could not got o Hilo without visiting the Big Island Candies factory and pick up some chocolate! It was kind of fun watching the chocolates being made.
After all of this in Hilo- We met back up with Kevin, Amy, the kids and Mike (Amys awesome 'tour guide' brother). Mike took all of us to some hot ponds and to the volcano. Now- of course the volcano was not active on the only day we choose to go- but is was still fun to see the lava rocks.
