So, this weekend, we flew up to the Big Island for a short family trip. Aho and I both hadn't been to the BI in a while, and we thought it would be nice to just go and hang out. We spent the first day in Hilo, then drove around to Waimea, and ended up on Kona side. It was nice to be away from the city and see so much green.
Our hotel in Hilo was a little interesting. They had just remodeled, and instead of carpet, had used all tile. Every single sound echoed throughout the entire floor, including that of our very noisy one year old. And, they only gave us two towels. Luckily, Ola was small enough to use one of the hand towels. lol!
We drove around past Hilo the second day and stopped off at Akaka Falls. Ola had just knocked out in his car seat, and since no one was at the falls that early, Aho and I hopped out for a quick pic. You can barely see the falls just above my head.
We got into Waimea at the perfect time...right before they closed the roads for the parade. So, we found a parking spot and joined everyone else to watch the parade. It was so nice and cool, the little man actually needed a jacket.
My two paniolo trying on hats at the Parker Ranch store. I think Ola is meant to be a cowboy!
Kona side was hot, of course, so when we got to our hotel we headed down to the pool. Ola was so happy to be in the water.
A nice little waterfall between our room and the pool.
We went to a little shopping area for dinner that was totally empty. So, we grabbed some food and sat on the grass while Ola tried his hardest to get down to the water spouts. I'm still surprised that he didn't end up completely drenched.

I love the pic of Wailoa in the hand towel, so cute! The pic with Aho and Wailoa at the pool, it looks like Aho has two small pigtails. I needed to study the pic to realized there were people behind him. ;) Glad you enjoyed your BI getaway!
I wish we could have gone with you guys. Look like you had tons of fun. That picture with aho in the pool...looks like he has two pig tails cause of the people behind him :). We totally have to plan something to the big island so we can take turns going to the temple.
ha...just read the 1st comment and realized we wrote the same thing :). i was really thinking that without reading the above comment...promise.
OK, so if you look at the pic of aho and ola-it looks like aho has 2 pig tails! ha ha-i looked at that like 10 times before realizing it was people.
