Trip to the Big Island

 At Rainbow falls

The first day we were there we saw a few of the falls around Hilo before heading down to the volcano park where we stayed.

 The Boiling Pots

 Peepee falls

 Hawaii Volcanoes National Park

 The military has some cabins right across the road from this volcano, right in the heart of the park. It was so nice to be right there and be able to hike around. It was cold though at night but oh so nice.

 Hiking around and through the volcano park

The 2nd day we just stayed up at the park and hiked, we added it up to be 6 miles of hiking that day.

 Over looking the lave field and me at 14 weeks.

 You can see the trial that goes across it.

 Opening to the lava tube

 Ground view of the lava field, you can still see the trail but as you go you can't really they tell you at each end to follow the rock piles.

 Going across the lava field

 You can see the old lava going down to the ocean.

 Coast line

 Down the coast is where the live lava is but we didn't go see it because of me being pregnant, the air isn't safe in places for young children and pregnant women.

 Hawaii has some of the coolest trees.

 Akaka Falls 442 feet

 On our last day we went back up to Hilo and looked around some more, and just enjoyed seeing more of Hawaii.

 Snorkeling

 And just before we had to head to the airport Gabe went snorkeling.

We only had 3 days and so we only saw the Hilo side of the Island. We wish we had more time to spend and be able to see all of it. Hopefully we will make it back before we leave Hawaii.
