Haleakala & Some Beaches

Haleakala is one of the two volcanoes on Maui. On Tuesday we drove to the summit and did a little hiking into the crater. We didn't go all the way down - it would have taken a least 5 hours and there was no cover from the sun.




Audrey spent most of the day like this:

On the drive back down we felt like we might have gone to heaven - the clouds below us were so thick we could have driven right onto them.

The next day we went to a beach in Makena. Audrey wants nothing to do with the sand (too yucky) or the water (waves are scary). But she was perfectly happy to play with sand toys on a blanket.

After playing and relaxing we checked out the remains of the last lava flow on the island.

Then finished off with some more relaxing and wave watching.

We bought a coconut and drank it's juice and headed to Iao Valley.






The plants that grow in Hawaii are so surreal - I wish my backyard looked like this.
