Hawaii, Day 6, Part II, Akaka Falls

Ak-ak-ak Falls as Doug and the kids jokingly called it was amazingly amazing. Doug commented that he had been all over the world and that the foliage here was the most lush he had ever seen.

He was sweet enough to chase the boy while I indulged in picture taking.  Did I mention I took around 1500 photos this trip?  Yeah. 

Everywhere you looked there was a flower peeking out.

Jacob even found some "na-nas".

Said "na-nas".

To get to the falls, you have to walk down quite a few stairs.  Definitely worth the trip...

~Another fiddlehead~

I mentioned that there were a lot of stairs going down, which of course meant there were a lot of stairs going back up as well.   Doug's knee had been bothering him but he managed to carry Jacob back up to the car.  When we got home, he had an MRI done and we learned that his ACL is completely torn.  He's so nonchalant about these kinds of things.  Believe me if I had a torn ACL, everyone would be hearing about it...loudly and often.
