They'll be comin' round the mountain

Adam kept asking to hike up a mountain since we moved here, so on Saturday we hiked up Diamond Head, which according to the map is a 0.8mile hike up with a 560 ft elevation gain. I was pleasantly surprised that Adam hiked up the whole way by himself. A couple of women behind us asked 'how old is he?', they were impressed that he was doing so well too. Cole got a ride on Dan's shoulders most of the way, although he did walk some of it himself.






I can see why this is a popular tourist attraction, you get some pretty spectacular views from up there. Diamond head sits right at the southeast corner of the island, an you can see all of downtown plus up the east shoreline of the island.
We walked up these, down was much quicker...
And of course at the end there was a shaved ice stand. Mmmm... Notice the holes in the tables to set your shaved ice in. Love it! (especially after Adam dumped his shaved ice on me last weekend)
