Memorial Day Weekend Adventures

We had a really great Memorial day weekend even though Jared was on call. The best part is that this was Jared's LAST weekend of Call in residency and his last holiday call of residency!! WOHHOOO!! We are very excited about this and am grateful that the call pager was so nice to him to this weekend. Saturday night we hiked KOKOHEAD crater, this was mine and Kailie's second time doing this killer hike and Jared's first. He got the privilege of carrying the little squirt up it, I had my turn last time and we were both huffing and puffing the whole way.

We hiked it in the evening so it wasn't too hot and it was beautiful and nice to see a little bit of the sunset.

We hiked with our dear friends Andrea and Justin who we are going to miss so much here in a few weeks.

Sunday we just got to hang out together at home, which never happens on Sunday, it was nice and relaxing and gave our sore bodies a chance to recover for our next hike which we did on Monday.

We hiked to Maunawilli Falls and according to all the websites this was a nice, easy hike. Maybe it was just because we had a lot of kiddos with us but this hike did not seem easy and was definitely longer than we thought

But we eventually all made it! Jared enjoyed jumping off a really high cliff into the waterfall pool and Kailie enjoyed playing with Savannah in the water.

My good friend Mykel from SLC is here, she and her friends joined us on the hike. Her brother Rob also a very dear friend of mine came out here 4 years ago and we started this same hike but it was rainy and we decided not to finish it, so pretty ironic that I finally do the hike after all this time with Mykel.
