Maunawili Falls

In Kailua, there is a hike called Maunawili Falls. It's only about a 2.5 mile hike in, and at the end is a waterfall and fresh water pool with cliffs to jump off and go swimming.  The Nelsons were visiting and so we decided to go! Jake carried the our "lead baby" in the carrier, which wasn't an easy task, and Lily even did it with a broken collar bone, with a little help from Karly. (More on the broken collar bone to come...) It's a very muddy hike, and it's completely unavoidable to not get dirty. I know what you're thinking,...good thing there's a place to swim at the end and clean off. Little did I know that the mud and water possibly contain a bacteria called Leptospirosis! It comes from animals in the area peeing in the water. Its not a common occurrence  but it really freaked me out for like a week!  It was a  beautiful place though.
