Andy is now doing family hikes for the Sierra Club. We hope to meet other families who hike with their kids.

This is what the Garden Island Newspaper printed:

Sierra Club family hike tomorrow

The Sierra Club’s monthly family hike is tomorrow. The group will start at the Keahua Arboretum and hike the Kuilau Ridge trail. It is an easy, slow-paced hike with plenty of breaks for children of all ages. The distance is 3.5 miles roundtrip to the bridge and back, but hikers can turn back at any time. If weather and time permits, the hike will be followed by a picnic at the arboretum.

Keikis can learn to appreciate nature and physical activity by getting outdoors together with family. A guided Sierra Club family hike provides the a safe environment for physically active kids to learn about nature and get used to long walks and hikes. If you go, remember to bring snacks and water, sturdy footwear with good soles (no slippahs), sunscreen, and a small umbrella. Call Andy Kass at 822-1794 for details.

Afterwards we tried to go swimming. Was too cold even for me…

Our friends Chris and Joseph

Mothers Day we went to the Allerton Gardens near Poipu with our friend Gabriela – it was a beautiful day, and Leilani was cherful and happy. In the afternoon we went for a quick swim to Poipu beach park, Leilani got dipped in the water up to her belly, and didn’t even cry. She did let us know that it was too cold though, otherwise I would have put her in all the way (well not the head…)
