HAWAII!!!

Yeah for Hawaii!! Our flight was horrendous, we had a 6 hour layover in Las Vegas starting at 10 pm. When we finally landed in Honolulu it was 5 in the morning. So we pretty much slept a lot of that first day. The second day, we did wedding stuff, I tried on my dress, all that. Then we went out to the country. When I'm in Utah, I get all white and my hair turns dark brown. Pretty much the opposite of how I really like it to be. So I had my mom highlight my hair, and I did my best to get tan.


Here's my parents wiener dog, Charlie. He FREAKS out when anyone enters the house, but as soon as he figures out you're OK, he stops barking. Really, everyone is OK to him, so he's pretty much the best "alarm" dog in the world, and the worst guard dog in the world. Meh, good enough, right?

The next day was Father's Day so we gave my dad lei's and see's candy, then went to church where all the boys got more lei's. Latter that night we had a family party at the fale. Here's me and Grandpa.

Here's me with my cousin Suzi. She flies for SkyWest. She's AMAZING!


After the party, we took the excess food over the feed Sara's many animals.

Yeah for baby ducks!

I had a mule treat, so he liked me.

The next day, Tara and I went on a bike ride. I walked to Sara's to borrow a bike, so here's Tara kicking my trash to the front gate.

Tara and Corbin. I know it looks like he's waving, but he was actually doing his best to get that helmet off.

Here's me, going down the "bump" road- so named for the 1000's of speed bumps. I realize that I look less than impressive, but I was EXCERSIZING people!

After the bike ride we went to the beach.

Corbin really likes sand. Thank goodness he didn't eat any, THIS time.

He doesn't like hats. But luckily he kept this one on for a little bit.

Cheesy picture of myself at the beach.

Pretty much right after we got there, the wind picked up and it started to rain. The wind was the reason we left. Ever been near sand when the wind picks up? NOT fun. That stuff HURTS! Now rain, I can handle. Have you ever noticed how people at the BEACH run for cover when it rains? Funny how they're so afraid of getting wet.... It's especially funny when people get out of the ocean or the pool when it starts to rain.

We headed over to my aunty's pool. Corbin HATED this little floaty thing.

Later that night we went back to the beach. Different beach, same swimwear.

We found a turtle! If it wasn't illegal to touch them, we would have bad WAY cooler pictures!

See, he likes me!

Paddle boarding at sunset. GORGEOUS!

That's me, I SWEAR!

Here's one of Tyler and I.

Tara was the last one to go out, mainly because she broke the paddle. JK, it mysteriously snapped in half. Totally not her fault.

Corbin LOVED out little blow-up matress. Mostly because it was the right height for him to crawl up on.

The next day ( the day of Meagan's WEDDING- post to follow) Tyler, Denita, Grandma, Kaden, and I snuck out to the beach. We made it to Waimea Bay just in time for Kaden to wake up, around 7 am. He REALLY wanted to dig a hole (and by that, I mean he really wanted someone to dig a hole for him), so Tyler dug him a really deep hole that he could hide completely in.

Here's me standing in the hole. 'Betcha never realized just how tall Tyler was, huh?!

Kaden and I playing in the shore-break

The girls in the water. Well, kinda.

Some snorkelers said they saw turtles out by a rock in the middle of the bay, so we got this crazy idea to SWIM out to meet them, with no masks or anything. In case you read this Denita, I NEVER would have done it without you! I'm such a wuss! Our underwater camera takes pretty good pictures! I knew they were somewhere around where we were, so I just put the camera under the water and snapped a bunch of shots. Almost every one had turtles in them!

Getting ready to go.

And they're off! They actually had to jump twice because I missed the first shot. SORRY GUYS!

Mmmmmm, doritos. The breakfast of champions!
