Hawaii

We just got back from Hawaii a week ago.  It was such an amazing trip!  I have to say I absolutely love Hawaii!  We got to go with my family and visit Oahu and Kaui.  This is kind of a long post . . .


I think history is so fun to learn about, so I always like seeing Pearl Harbor.  Colton really liked the memorial and the museum they created to tell visitors about what happened there.


At the Polynesian Cultural Center Colton was chosen to go up on stage and drum with the drummer from Tonga.  I don't think he was too happy about it, but he was hilarious up there.  He had to dance, drum, sing, and yell!  He was even less happy when he found out my dad had "volunteered" him before the show.


Colton and Broc went surfing while we were in Oahu.  They had about a five minute beach lesson and went out to surf.  They were pretty good a surfing even on their first time.  The picture I took of the actual surfing are way too tiny to see though!

Since my whole family was there, even Broc off of his mission, we had family pictures taken.  At the end, we all got pretty wet.



A few of the days we hung out at the beach or the pool.  I always like doing that and working on my tan!  Except this year I just got really, really burnt!



Boogie boarding at Brennack's Beach was one of Colton's favorites. The waves there were huge and came in constantly.






We went on a Napali Coast dinner cruise.  The waves were a little choppy which made the ride even more exciting.  On our way back down the coast, there were dolphins swimming along with our boat!  Even though the coast is beautiful, the dolphins made the ride even better!

It's a GIRL!




Colton and I went to Fetal Fotos today to find out if we were having a boy or a girl. We couldn't wait any longer! Colton was so good, he could tell before they even told us that it is a GIRL!! She is way cute and was wiggling around so much! We are so excited to have her. I really almost went shopping today because I need to buy something, but I didn't yet. We will see how long that lasts!
