Camping Hawaiian Style

Friday night we camped out at Polihale State Park (about 20 minutes from our house) with some friends.  If you are going to camp out, I definitely recommend doing it in Hawaii ;-)  We slept on the beach, which means we had a great view of the sunset over the ocean and an awesome view to wake up to in the morning! We were lulled to sleep by the sound of the waves crashing on the shore, and perhaps my favorite thing: no bugs :)

One of the coolest things ever: watching the moon rise over the Na Pali Coast

Noah went for an early morning run on the beach ;-)

(Anyone else think Noah kind of looks like Madison, my cousin's daughter, in this picture?)

Don't worry, it wasn't all rainbows and butterflies (or sunsets and waves!)...since we camped out with all the kids, we were all awake by 6:30 am ;-)
