Koko Head Crater

i feel like rocky, when he runs up all the stairs at the Philadelphia museum..

yes, that's exactly how i feel.

why you ask?

because i climbed this yesterday..

all the way to the very, very top!

it was possibly the most rewarding hike i have accomplished in a while, my thighs are still burning!

it took us about 45 minutes, and to some of you that may seem like a long time, and it is, but for the first time i feel like it went well. especially since i took a few small breaks :)

when i asked joey how the hike was going to be and he said just imagine your walking on a stairmaster for about an hour.. hit the nail on the head with that one!!

and now commence the picture overload..

first view we got

i think this was about halfway

look joey I'm doing it!

we made it to the top, phew!

two of my most favorite people :)

i am so grateful that we were able to have Robert come with us, and that we got to spend some family time together! i love my family, every last single one of them. we had so much fun marching our way up the crater, and we can still walk, biggest bonus of it all!
