We also got to stop and play on the most amazing public playground that I have ever seen.
It was huge! We had tons of fun there. It was a great way to spend Mothers Day :)

Day #3 on the Big Island
These pictures are for certain people who did not believe me when I told them that I saw a zebra, goats, long horns, and a buffalo on the Big Island. We were driving back from the Kona side of the island when we passed these interesting animals :)We also got to stop and play on the most amazing public playground that I have ever seen.

Day #2 on the Big Island
Day #2 was spent touring Volcano National Park.
The big crater (I forget its name, but hey, I can't remember everything)

That would be the reason we weren't able to drive all the way around the crater. You are looking at a huge cloud of sulfur and other poisonous gases, exiting the volcano, that would kill you before you could say Aloha :)
LAVA FLOWS!!
In some places you could see where the lava flowed over roads.
That night we drove up to the Jagar Museum to see the crater glowing. And, since it gets rather cold after dark at 4,000+ feet above sea level, we all had to bundle up.
I don't know this person.....

Today has been the busiest day I've had in a long time. This morning the Lopez clan got up at 3:00 to head to the airport. Thankfully we were traveling commercial and Bear finally got to get on a plane!!
Note: The Bearster looks MUCH happier in this picture than he is at the moment. Long, exciting days tend to wear on 3 year olds :)
Note #2: If you think I look more than a little crazed, it's because the bright light stunned me out of my dazed state....After arriving in Hilo we waited at a small cafe for our rental van to arrive.
The rest of the day was spent hiking to waterfalls:
