On day 15&16, we went for a hike, went shopping, celebrated dad's 40th birthday, and explored the resort areas north of Kona. Within their walls are great archaeological sites and areas with hundreds of petroglyphs.
Will was up early making breakfast on the bbq, mmm, salty.
One morning we hunted for the only known obsidian source on the island.
Found it!
It was also the 100th day of school. Jack's classmates were bringing in baggies of 100 objects. Jack counted 10 piles of 10 obsidian pebbles that we found in the road.
Lunch in the car!
We stopped at a farmer's market to stock up on Hawaiian necklaces. Fish hooks and shark teeth.
Checked out the Kona library. We will have to get a card next time.
We bought a ukulele in hopes of grooming a rock star.
I can rock out too!
Copying ancient petroglyphs at the Puako Petroglyph Preserve.
My favorite. Mother with 4 children.
Jack was very inspired and made great copies!
Another beautiful day, another beautiful beach. This one was at the Waikoloa resort.
Dad gets buried alive on his birthday... at least it was in Hawaii!
I'll bury dad's head.
Off to check out another heiou.
Throwing pennies into the fountain after a Popsicle.
A baby turtle at this petroglyph preserve!
Mmmm birthday dinner at Huli Sue's... a great little place in Waimea.
YUM! Those french fries were awesome and the meat was great too!
Birthday cake back at the condo! We ate cake at every meal for 3 days straight.
