Hawaii

It is hard to choose. I'm trying to narrow down the pictures to post, but with 2 weeks worth of pictures, it is tough.

So here are a few of the favorites:

Beautiful Beach Babe

The flower behind the right ear means she is available. Of course, you'll have to wait at least 15 years (and then face her dad) if you are interested in a date.

She loved playing in the sand!

Fun Family Time

We loved walking along the beaches.

Visiting Pearl Harbor

Chinaman's Hat


Crazy Crawling Cousins

They have matching favorite blankies, and would often try to steal it from one another.

The best beach babysitter...dig a pit and let them play!

They haven't quite figured out how to snorkel yet, but they are getting close.

By the end of the trip they were holding hands. At least until they saw something more interesting to crawl towards.


The Whole Crew

Our favorite spot for shaved ice. A perfect treat after the salty beach.

We had a fun picnic at Chinaman's hat before leaving to go back to the mainland.

More walks on the beach.

Thanks to the two youngest for staying home to watch the babies while the rest of us went to the temple!

And Even More

We love diving. James spotted an octopus as soon as we went down. We also saw a few eels and more fish than I could count.

The U.S.S Arizona Memorial

The (almost) veterinary to the rescue! The turtle got hooked by the fishing line. James got it unhooked and then carried it back out to the ocean where it quickly swam away.

Just playing and having fun at Shark's Cove.

And finally, one of our favorite past times...Boogie Boarding!
