Hiking Waimea Valley with the Keiths

November 27, 2010
We went for a hike with the Keith family.
All the kids getting ready for the adults to be ready to go.
(James, Paul, Daniel, Patrick, Sophia, Philip)

All the kids looking at the stream and looking for creatures.

Sophia loves being outside!

We worked so hard to get all the kids looking but there wasn't one that had them all.

The covering was so cool. All the leaves over this little walkway was amazing!

Yet another try..

Paul was so excited to get to hold Helena.
All the kids were such troopers to take pictures in all the places we posed them.

This one shows the beautiful scenery behind them a bit better.

Sophia and Patrick walked hand in hand for quite a ways.
They are best buddies!

The river down below in the ravine. You could see the different water levels on the wall.

The Keith Family!
We love this family so much!

We were a little spread out. James had had enough with the picture taking!

Best pals!

The beautiful waterfall!

Say Cheese!

Helena wanted out of the stroller and Sophia always wants her turn to hold her!

Paul was the brave one who wanted to go out into the water. We didn't bring swim suits or I am sure Daniel would have been there with him. Cat said it was pretty cold!

Me taking pictures of Paul and Cat, while Phil took pictures of us!

The boys trying to keep themselves occupied while Paul was in the water.

So cute!

Paul and Sophia playing with Helena

The panoramic view of the 'lake'.

Sterling and the kids watching the waterfall.

I like this panoramic view, Cat and Paul on one end and Sterling and the kids watching on the ledge on the other.

I did it.. I got Phil back, here is a picture of Phil taking pictures of the waterfall and the kids in front.

Paul was so brave!!!

Nothing like a little Oreo snack to rev you up for the hike back down!

This was Sophia's favorite plant on the whole hike. I don't know what it is called but this is what the 'flowers' looked like.

She liked all the pink flowers!

The boys had to find the frogs in the 'swamp' Nature Preserve near the entrance/ end of the hike.
We had a really great time with the Keith family for our last outing with them.
They are such a great family!!!
