So we headed out early today for a hike up to Maunawili Falls, one of the few waterfalls on Oahu. In the beginning it was great. The paths were beautiful and the greenery was breathtaking.
Brooklyn finds a pretty flower!
A little bit later it proved to be a bigger challenge than we were up for. We hadn't taken into consideration the fact that it rained last night. We got about 20 minutes up the path before we realized it was gonna be more muddy than usual but decided to keep going and cross the streams and what not even though the rocks were VERY slippery. I was a little apprehensive at first but Brooklyn's background with a Recreation Leadership major helped. Knowing I was with a pro put me at ease.
Look at her balance...so impressive.

About 40 minutes into it the mud was getting bad and we saw the warning signs that we might not make it out alive...
Brooklyn had done the hike before and knew some steep parts were still ahead that we'd never be able to get up with this amount of mud so we headed back. Tragic.
I only fell once but still ended up covered in mud, sweat...
& mosquito bites.
Hawaii watch out! With you two back together you just never know what is going to happen. I loved the video- a real smooth crossing of the stream, Brooklyn- and you're the expert? I got a such a laugh that your dad had to come and watch. You two are too cute laying their on the beach! Love ya Mom
