Kona Day 6

Monday morning, I had most enjoyable 5 mile run with my handsome Hawaiian date =)


Then, we loaded up and headed to the other side of the island to check out the rain forests and waterfalls!  Bella got to ride with Pappa and Meems!!  We tied her hat on real snug and put lots of sunscreen on since it was a good 2 hour drive!


My mom took this pictures of Bella...She was singing to Jesus...making up her own songs and just praising him as she enjoyed the drive!!  How absolutely precious is that!!


We all had a wonderful lunch a local restaurant!  It carried all the basic entree items but they all seemed to have a unique Hawaiian flare which was fun!  I love this handsome nephew of mine...I could just eat him up!!!


Brother enjoyed toddling around with his Pappa...


After lunch, Jackson enjoyed a ride in the "Banana"...


We had a lovely hike through the rain forests and explored the waterfalls!  It was so fascinating to see how this side of the island was so different that the other side in Kona!  


The eastern side of the island doesn't really have many luxury beach areas, but it has gorgeous green grassy lands, forests and vegetation!


You don't see this sign much in the States...


Pretty water falls...



We also discovered a fun little jetty type place...


We enjoyed climbing the rocks to see how far we could get out!


Of course the boys go far...


John and Jeremy...


Love these guys...


After a fun day of exploring...we headed back to the western side of the island...following the jeep...


Our favorites of the day...I watched a lady weave this basket...and then I purchased it from her...and Jeremy bought some local brittle!  Yum!


We enjoyed a late night delicious meal once we returned...
