Our family hawaii vacation back in August!

We spent two weeks at a beach house in Laie. We had so much fun making french toast every morning and playing on the beach. This is what we did...

Visited the Laie temple


Went to the PCC where we watched all the performances from each village and had a luau. We drank these awesome pina coladas in a huge pinneapple!




Sea turtles are my new favorite animals. Braden had an eye for them. We would be playing at the beach or snorkling and he would spot them out of no where! They we would follow the turtle all the way down the beach.
The boys found their favorite thing to do this year. They would pick up rocks that were not too heavy, but heavy enough to keep you on the ocean floor. They would then run with them under water, on the sand, way far out. The trick was to pick it up, hold it way far out in front of you, and run. It would practically pull you if you kept running. It was way cool to watch underwater! Me and Anj did it a few times with light rocks and would run parallel to the beach instead of out. It was so funny to watch each other!


We had a bon fire on the beach and roasted smores.

The boys jumped off this cliff in Laie called The Point. A polynesian boy that lives there said it was super deep, but it definitly wasnt! They cut their feet all up! Then had to climb up this crevase of spiky rocks with no shoes!
I could not tell you the number of snowcones we ate! We ate at least 5 a day, with multiple snowcones at one stop! They were our favorite. We found a snowcone trailer that we would stop at a few times a day. I dont know if it was the snowcones we liked the most or hearing the girl who made the snowcones say the name that my dad would have her call, "Doo rod". She woudl say it in the sweetest voice and it was so funny.
We went to Waimea falls and Braden didnt get eaten alive by mosquitos this time! When we went on our honeymoon, we got a billion!
Coop was imitating us girls and everytime we would see a pretty flower. haha! We would hold it to our face, smile, and bend our knees. haha



Braden and T-man were the official lizard catchers. They looked pretty sweet in this cup.Braden is such a cutie.








Braden caught this sweet ghecko. Its tail fell off and this lady next to us scrame, haha
