Twenty minutes from our hotel was what the big boys called the highlight of their trip. Kipu Falls had cliff jumping, a huge rope swing and a perfectly deep and round lagoon at the bottom.
You first had to hike in through an overgrown trail.
Look at the cousins holding hands. Jake is so nice!
Here is Ryan climbing stupid high to get a really long jump!
Sissy is just taking it all in.
Micah joined in with some locals to do a triple jump.
Here is a graceful landing by Seth.
Micah found a boogie board to help the kids swim against the current after they jumped in.
The most impressive moment — when Scout jumped! He did it totally on his own from about a 10 ft+ cliff. Look at that proud dad!
I started to show Icka where Scout had jumped, and told her she could do it too.
Then Ryan and I started plotting.
And with a little assistance — Icka was on her way down.
Post assisted jump.
She had a little glare for Ryan and me.
But was excited to meet up with Scout — the brave and big brother.

I’ll admit that Kipu falls was really fun. The big boys went back a second time. But it took us a while to get warmed up — did I mention that someone had died there a week earlier? From the same tree that Ryan climbed. I told you it was stupid high!
