We headed to the south shore looking for a lava tube...we never found the tube, but did find a really neat area. This small cove was a big adventure! It had all the elements we love...a beautiful view, neat rock formations, strange sea life, and a little danger! 
It was very steep and a little slippery climbing down
the area looked like something from another planet
hmmm....how do we get down there? Hunter slid part way down the trail on his bottom. He came out with a few scratches, but made it down alright.
We made it!
Lava rock is SO cool!
Ok mom...enough pictures..when can we explore??
That's better...a helmet sea urchin...this one was tough to get off the rock.
Here it is with a little friend..these don't sting you. Their outer middle is very hard like a tiny helmet. They stick to the rocks and suck off the growing algae.
This was a great spot to check out, but a few rogue waves rushed in and tried to suck us out...yikes!!
We loaded up with energy from the famous Hank's Haute Dogs...boy were we hungry!
