Linnea sharing her yummy homemade olive bread with Pippi (the rest of us weren't quite so generous!)
One of our last days there Pippi and Ru offered to watch Linnea so that we could go have some adult fun. We hiked Mauna Loa, which is a beautiful but exhausting 10 mile trip that takes you up above 13,000 feet.
The crater at the top is stunning, and had lots of snow, with steam coming out of the many vents melting away patches in the snow. You can't see much of the snow in this picture, but there's a little bit behind Maren's head.
Meanwhile, Linnea had the time of her life getting spoiled by her grandparents. She went hiking (with Muppy and Puppy in tow), covered them with bandaids, and had a picnic on which she decided she would only drink from the cap of the water bottle. All things Mom and Dad said couldn't be done!
Then they went ohelo berry picking! Here she was all business, and pretty quickly filled an entire bag.
Nea playing one of her favorite games, which involved dressing her stuffed naked mole rat in a hat (apparently he was cold), then dropping him on the ground and yelling 'Oh No!'
Then went to Punalu'u Beach, where Linnea got to see big green sea turtles that come ashore there to bask. Here she is checking one out that is partly buried in the sand.
