Hawaii!

It has taken me awhile to go through all these pictures and narrow them down, but alas, here they are! 

All of our adventures from Hawaii can be summed up with these pictures.

Laie Temple. 

We all did sealings together. The sealing room was breathing taking. It was pure white with light streaming into the room through those glass windows on the top. It was gorgeous.

Polynesian Cultural Center.
This was one of my most favorite days. I've been here before with some friends, but it was fun to experience it again. Our most favorite place to go to was Samoa. Kap, the fire dancer man, was so funny with all of his jokes. Dan kept repeating them through the whole trip. He got us laughing so hard. We also enjoyed getting cool tattoos, spear throwing, weaving a fish together, canoe riding, eating at the luau, and watching the night show.

Dole Plantation.
This place wasn't very impressive to me, but the dole whips were delicious and we enjoyed every bit of them. It was a quick visit.

Turtle Beach.
It's so cool to see these turtles and see how big and old they are. Dan thought they were cool too and wanted to act like one.

Swap Meet.
We went a little crazy at the swap meet and bought too much for Lucy. We got her a ukelele, a dress, a necklace, and a straw skirt with coconut shells. Daniel got a Hawaii hat and I got myself a yummy mango. Mmm.

Out to eat.
One of the best things about Hawaii is their food! We loved eating at Kua'Aina, Dukes, and Hukilau Cafe.

Beach.
Waikiki was only a couple blocks from our hotel, so we loved walking by the beach and by the shops every night. Dan couldn't get enough of his 'beach' jokes.

Private Beach.
My other favorite day was when we all went to a private beach at the kualoa ranch. We got this beach to ourselves practically for 3 hours. We got to go paddle boarding, kayaking, canoeing, and going on a catamaran ride.

Waimea Falls.

After our private beach expedition, we went to Waimea Falls. HOLY GORGEOUS! I took so many pictures of this place. Wow. It was so beautiful. When we got to the falls, we put on our life jackets right away and jumped in!

Sharks Cove.

Earlier that week, Dan and I went with Jamie, Brad and Mckelle to Sharks Cove to snorkel. We saw so many cool fish, but the coolest thing was that we saw sea turtles! It was AMAZING! One swam right beneath me. I was a little nervous, but in awe! Those creatures are so cool.

Hanauma Bay.
Haunuma Bay has pretty great snorkeling as well. So many colorful fish. It was so fun to see!

It was one awesome vacation! I love Hawaii! So grateful to my in-laws who paid for so much and made it so fun!
