Hawaii

We just got back on Wednesday. Oh it was so nice. I took about a bizillion pics but here are some of the highlights.

Jeff feeding a bird on our hotel on the balcony.It was so fun to spend time with my mom and dad before we move.

This is the canoe ride at the Polynesian Cutlural Center.
The Luau at PCC. Interesting food. They all thought I was being "picky" but I like to call it "selective".

Mark Eubank & his wife are serving as the Visitor's Center Directors.

Laie Temple

It was closed which was a bummer cause we all wanted to do a session. But it closed in January for 18 months. I guess we'll just have to go back again.

Jeff really wanted to get a coconut. We got one from a fruit stand on the side of the road. The lady took a machete to it and stuck a straw in it. I wasn't a fan but Jeff loved it.

My dad's a huge history/WWII buff. We went to all the army bases.

This is at Hickam Air Force Base. You can see the bullet holes in the side of the building from the morning of Pearl Harbor.

This picture was taken in the same spot, I just turned around.

Imagine that Sunday morning and having all those Japanese planes flying toward you.My cousin Dana, her husband Landon and their little boy are living in Honolulu for school.

It was so fun to see them.

They knew all the good places to go.

Now, why do we live in Utah? Snorkeling at Hanauma Bay. Yes, we did make it into the water.

Oh, it was so nasty and salty. Like make you gag salty.

It was worth it thought cause it was AWESOME!

We saw a sea turtle too.

Sunset in Waikiki

These are called Banyon trees.

The branches grow down and back into the ground.

Whale watching.

We saw about 10 or 12 total.

If you enlarge this pic you should see the humb back it the top right. Kamden didn't go with us. We missed him SO much. He's been so exhausted since we got home. He played hard with Robyn & Andy's girls. I took this pic this morning. He fell asleep on the living room floor. He has perfected the crib escape.
