 for those of you who enjoy a little carnage, here is a video of the unveiling of the pig




this was our summit adventure! we took a bus to the top of the crater (10,000 feet up and FREEZING COLD) and after a 3,000 foot drop over 10 miles, we began a 23 mile bike ride around 29 switch backs down Haleakala...a tad intense for crys, super fun for cam... 

 a tribute to nini, ha!











 i'm not kidding yall. it was cold.
 this is the only plant life that can survive at the summit.



ziplining through old pineapple fields...
side note - In the late 1980s, pineapple’s “crown” began to wither, and the industry no longer turned a profit. Only about 100 acres of pineapple for local consumption remain on the island.





 this might make you nauscious...

we were lucky enough to witness some of the largest waves the island had seen in months thanks to a weather front moving in...

more random pics, including our resort















 this is how they trim the trees...right where we were eating breakfast one day!






and here is what pax was up to at home...





 great vacation! and happy 5th anniversary to us!
