Petroglyphs

We went on a 1.5 mile hike at Volcanoes National State Park to see some petroglyphs. It was Win-dy! The hike felt like at least 3 miles. The kids were troopers though, despite the fact that the wind would occasionally blow sand in their faces. Most of the petroglyphs were 'ohana (family) related, as Hawaiians traditionally drilled a hole in the hardened lava, placed the piko (umbilical cord) of a newborn in the hole, and covered it with a rock.
