Finally some pictures of Hawaii :)

So here are some pictures of our trip to Hawaii! I know there is a lot but I just couldn't decide on only a few haha! Anyways we had a lot of fun! We went with Kyle's brother Tyler and his wife Tessa. It was nice to get away and just have a fun holiday with friends! We got very lucky with the weather too. It was only yucky on the last day but we still had fun then too!

Kyle in a lava field. This was the first place we went swimming. There was great snorkeling and we saw 3 sea turtles! It was sooo cool!
Enjoying the beach :)
Kyle boogie boarding!

Being silly! We all decided to climb this random tree that was fallen over. It was not very sturdy haha!

Today it was Sunday so we decided to take a drive up to a place 20 minutes away called Lahina! We ended up loving it there!
We had to stop on the way there to watch some whales jumping!
Me opening my first oyster!!! So EXCITING haha!
In lahina there is this HUGE tree that covers 3/4 of an acre! It was really neat!

Beautiful sunset!
At Bubba Gump Shrimp Restaurant in Lahina!! Soooo yummy!
So one day we decided to go on this day long drive called the road to Hana! It was so cool. But there was like a million water falls along the way. Some you could see from the road and some you had to hike to. This one we hiked to. The water falls were beautiful!

The peace rock I found haha!
Kyle and I at red sand beach!! Very cool expect this was a clothing optional beach and when we first showed up a man was just putting his pants back on. Lucky for us haha!
A crazy sign haha
On the road to Hana we went over 56 bridges!
Kyle decided to pose on the edge of a very very steep cliff :S
Indiana Jones Kyle :)

We decided to swim in this one. It was called the 7 sacred pools because down from this pool there are many more that all connect but waterfalls! It was very cool!
A random rock we found haha!
The morning we got up at 3:30am and went to watch the sunrise!! So beautiful! We drove to the top of this one volcano and it was pretty cold up there!

Visiting my Little Logie :)

So it is my spring break right now and so I decided I missed my nephew Logan and I needed to come for a visit! I know I haven't put up pictures of Hawaii yet but I promise to do that when I get home! Anyways my trip started on Tuesday the 15th with my flight out on Spokane being delayed 2 hours and I arrived 2 hours early for the original time and so I had to sit by myself in the airport for 4 hours by myself. It kinda blew but I complained a little to someone and so they gave me a food voucher so I got a free Quizno's sub for lunch :) I finally made it to Utah and on the car ride back to Mindy's house she asked me to feed Logan dinner but he totally played strange with me at first. He wasn't cranky or anything I think he just needed a minute to think, "Hmmmm where do I know you from and can I trust you with my food?" Haha he eventually warmed up and ate his lunch! The next day we just hung out at home for the morning and than went swimming in the afternoon! He is such a water baby! I love it! This morning Brian got up with Logan but I guess Bri was not feeling very well and so just before 8:00am he came into my room, put logan down on my bed right infront of my face and as soon as I woke up he left. I wasn't really sure where he went because he didn't say anything haha. Logan and I layed aronud and watched a movie in bed on his mini DVD player! Than I had him down for his nap just after 9:00am before Mindy and Brian even woke up haha! So nice to have Auntie around :) Its a good thing I love Logie!! Well here are a few pictures so far!
Me in the airport by myself :(

The hooded towel shirt Kyle and I brought Logan in Hawaii! We took it to the swimming pool :)

Hawaii!!

So Kyle and I are currently in Maui and we are loving it. We came with Kyle's brother Tyler and his wife Tessa. I would love to show some pictures of our trip so far but blogger won't let me upload them from my iPad so I guess I will have to do that when I get home! But I can tell you about some of our trip so far!!
On our way here we missed our connecting flight in San Francisco and we had to sit in the airport for the next flight to Maui for 5 hours! That really sucked! The plane ride was fine but for some reason it felt like it was taking forever!! There was one point in the flight where I heard some flight attendants talking about where we were in the flight and I turned to Kyle and said, "If we were going to Australia we would still have around 9 1/2 hours to go!" Haha seriously I don't know how I did it! I must have just been so excited! Anyways we finally made it and we got a mustang convertible for our rental car! It has been great having a convertible in this hot weather! Our first day we went snorkeling and we saw some sea turtles!! It was so exciting to see them! That is the only under water animal Kyle and I did not see in the water in Australia so we were hoping we would see some! We have also gone to a whole bunch of different beaches! Tessa had never been boogie boarding before and she did not really care to try it but we convinced her to go swimming and give it a try and she totally loved it!! She wants to do it all the time now haha! On Sunday we found a church and went and than afterwards we drove up to another place called Lahani where we did some shopping and walking around! We got to see this huge tree that coves 2/3 of an acre!! It is seriously crazy big! We climbed in it for a while and got some pretty funny pictures of us in it! After Tessa said she has discovered she really likes climbing tree's haha! We ate at a Bubba Gump shrimp restaurant for dinner! It was nice because it was right on the water and we got to watch the sun set. The best part of Sunday was we got to go to one of the jewelery stores and I got to open some oysters and got some pearls! They make you do this whole thing where you pick an oyster and you tap it three times with these tongs and then everyone there says with you ALOHA! Haha and then they open it for you! I got to open 3 oysters! I got a few of them made into jewelry! I got a necklace with my peacock colored pearl and I got some earring with my pink pearls I got! I was so excited! We have also went to a luau which was fun and the pina coladas were great. We also went on this day long drive called the road to Hana and we got to see a bunch of water falls and swim in their pools! We had to hike around sometimes and there were so many spiders everywhere. It was horrible!! I don't know how I did it but I made it and did not let it stop me from having fun! Yesterday we got up and went to watch the sunrise on top of the huge volcano here! We were up very early but it was so cool! The colours in the sky before the sun rises are amazing! We all came back to the condo and had a nap after though! And as for today well we just got back from snorkeling again!
We are having so much fun here! I have been collecting sand bottles from some of the beaches and so far i have gold sand, red sand, salt and pepper sand and total black sand! We only have 2 more days and then we have to come home! As much as I love it here I am excited
to come home! I miss my buddy haha! I know he is just a dog but I do love him a lot!
But that is all for now! I will upload some pictures of the trip as soon as I can!
