It's all in the attitude

From the beginning Mary was pretty determined to let us know that this hike was going to be rough on her. Then Grandpa took over, her attitude shifted and she was up the steep hike in no time without complaints. She still tells us that she thinks the tunnel on the hike was soooo cool! This often happens with Mary and hiking. Once she decides that she is up to the task things are much happier!

Here we are hiking to the top of Diamond Head Crater near Honolulu. If anyone is interested in specific details on the crater, find them here: http://www.hawaiistateparks.org/parks/oahu/Index.cfm?park_id=15.

Here are a few pictures:

 The surroundings aren't much to jump up and down about in the beginning. This is a drier part of the island.

 Beautiful shot. :)

 We made it!
