Hawaii Part 2

Um. The Laie temple is stunning!

 It was on a Sunday when we went and walked around the temple grounds but we did go back later in the week. It was neat to have all of us there. Jeff & Michelle did a session, I did initiatories, & Spencer was a witness while the girls did baptisms. Megan is only 9 and so she had to wait in the visitor's center. Someday we'll all be there!

 Cool way to cut pineapple!

 I had no idea that pineapples grow on a bush and they take up to 2 years to grow! 

 This guy showed us how to cut open a coconut. We got to try fresh coconut; I didn't like it very much but it's so good for you!

 At the PCC

 This was the sunset later that night while we were waiting to go to the Breath of Life dance show. So incredible!

 Here we are taking a canoe ride!

 Waiting for the dancer's to come out!

 This guy climbed a palm tree!

 This guy was funny. He's been at the PCC for years. Spence wanted to buy some of his artwork at the end because it was really pretty but we ended up not buying anything.

 Kayla got an airbrush tattoo!

 Pearl Harbor

 Active military still protecting the island

 Inside the USS Missouri

 It really is hollowed ground. I could definitely feel how sacred it is and felt the lives that were lost all around me. Especially when I looked inside this cabin bunker on the ship, I could just imagine all of the men sleeping in there.

 We learned about these guns on the ship. They are HUGE! 

 This is where the men would hang out.

 I love my husband. He looked like a true tourist with his DSLR but he took some amazing pictures with it.

 Shark's Cove @ Sunset

 Look close, there's Spencer in the bottom left hand corner.

 One day we went snorkeling at Shark's Cove. I saw schools of fish and a lot of tropical fish. I've never seen anything like it before. 

 Summer got sunburned on her back really bad on the 2nd day. I think she forgot to re-apply sunscreen or something but here she is trying to take her clothes off and she was in so much pain from her sunburn! Poor girl. Jeff had to put pounds of Aloe Vera on her back every night.

 Kissing on the beach.
