Hiking Makapu'u

Mommy wasn't feeling well last night, so she slept in (and in fact, we all slept in until 7 am!). Of course, I had completely soaked through my diaper and my sheets by that point. But, at least Mommy found me playing with toys on my bed and in a happy mood.

Daddy took me to swimming lessons today so that Mommy could go to 9 am yoga. I had the most fun playing with my friends on the play structure after swimming. I must have run around the play structure about 15 times before another parent commented that I'm so active! Daddy started watching me closely after I hung off the bars and started swinging and flying myself down the slides. I can be a dare devil for sure, but I can also be calm too, like when I shared my Cheerios with my friend Derek.

After naps and lunch, we all went hiking up Makapu'u. I'm so used to hiking with Popsicle, that I kept asking, "Hike with Pop?" But, no, Mommy came with us today. The last time we all went hiking up Makapu'u was last year. Last year, Dad carried me in his pack. This year, I just wanted him to stroller me or carry me. When I did walk, I wanted to walk in the grass, even though there's a pavement trail. A few people laughed when they saw me fall in the grass or hike off the trail into the grassy areas. I kept telling Mom and Dad, "Walk on the grass. Come on!" After all, it's not hiking if you're walking on a paved path! One lady said, "Uh oh, looks like you're gonna have your hands full!"

When we got to the top, I wanted to climb the rocks and climb the stairs. It was so much fun! (and a lot breezier up on top!) Daddy told me it was the wrong season for whales though. The whole way up I kept saying, "No whales?! Where the whales?".

Guess we'll have to hike Makapu'u again in the winter! (and hopefully, they'll put some more grass on those trails, or else I'll have to join Daddy when he goes off the beaten path.)
