Day 6 . Kiholo Bay

I have a ton of pictures from today because our adventure was my favorite so far, and we did so much, and saw so much. Kiholo Bay is an amazing place.

 The day usually begins with icecream.



Then we trecked on down to Kiholo Bay. Just out of the woods and this is the view.

First stop, The Queen's Bath. It's a spring fed lava tub with cool, fresh, clear water in it. It is amazing. Absolutely stunning, unexpected and so fun to swim in. 

 There's a deep cave that continues for a long ways. Some of the locals said they've never made it to the end because they get so creeped out.
 But this first little arch led to a second bath, so despite the tight fit in a couple of spots, Parks went right under like it was no problem.

 Everly was not so sure about the bath, so she joined us for a just a few minutes and preferred to just Vanna White it at the top with the little sign the locals put up as a reminder of it's sacred past.
 
 Onward. Around the point, past Paul Mitchell's house and to the bay!

 We found a crusty old puffer fish on the beach, much to the kids' delight.
 Then we ran into a herd of baby goats. No joke.


 Then we saw a ton of turtles and my heart exploded with joy!


 And a local's shanty by the sea. Not as impressive as the nearby mansions, but so much more full of life and character. This little beach house was so cool
 Kiholo Bay!

 I loved the water. The kids loved climbing all over the lava fields and exploring.
 A sweet little picnic spot. I don't have any photos of Parker here because he literally jumped in the bay, swam off and went cliff jumping over and over. Love that kid.
