We had a great time visiting the Big Island with Butch's family. They are always ready for adventure so we spent our days exploring by land and sea.
Our first land visit was to the Pu'ukohola Heiau where King Kamehameha united the islanders. It was the last heiau built and it is huge. But I didn't actually take a picture of the heiau.
Next we went to Pu'uhonua o Honaunau, or place of refuge
It had a REALLY big wall separating the Royal palace grounds from the area of refuge.
These are called ki'i
And one day we drove across the saddle of the island to visit the Kilauea crater.
The red lava was just barely visible at the bottom of the crater
One the way back to the Kona side of the island we stopped to see Rainbow Falls and then noticed some caves that needed exploring as we were meandering our way to the hiway.
Kaumana Caves
And, as if we didn't have enough pictures we had a family sunset photo session.
