Finally Updating Blog

I have finally updated our blog. I go to update it and then I get distracted looking at everyone Else's. Sorry if anyone has tried to comment (Probably not since we only update our blog every 6 months and we are pretty boring!)! I had the settings set weird. I am going to try and post a few more pictures and maybe some videos. Cam's computer is being sent to be fixed (he is pretty sad) and so I am using only the pictures I had on a disc.

Polynesian Cultural center



The Polynesian Cultural center was pretty fun! We were watching the canoe pagent and got drenched with some rain! The rain there just comes out of nowhere, pours, and then is gone in like ten minutes! One of these picture is Cam and I at the Luau. I have no idea why I was holding the menu like that. The other picture is Ashley, Bryckmen and I with our cool Polynesian tattoos. I know, we are rebels!

Dole Plantation and Aquarium



We also visited the Dole Plantation and the aquarium. I swear, pineapple here taste nothing like it does there! It is amazing! I didn't know pineapples grew on the ground either. I always thought they grew on trees. Why don't they teach you things like that in school? The aquarium was near our hotel. It was pretty neat. Bryckmen obviously didn't want me to stand too close!

Hanauma Bay



Here is when we went to Hanauma Bay. This is Luke, Ashley and I getting out to where we could snorkel. Cam is a bit further out! He didn't listen in the orientation video when they said to use the buddy system! I have to keep an eye on that kid! The other picture is of a fish that was following Mom and Dad in the water. There were so many fish! We took pictures with an underwater camera, but it didn't work out too well!

Pearl Harbor





We went to Pearl Harbor the second day and spent a whole day there. We visited the USS Arizona, the submarine, the battleship and the airforce museum. It was a pretty humbling experience to see the video of Pearl Harbor and to see what happened that day. It was such a tragedy! These pictures are us on in the submarine museum, on the submarine, and inside the battleship. We also road on an air flight simulator when we were over by the battleship. We all decided to ride it and thought Bryckmen would be fine. He kept looking at us the whole time wondering if he was supposed to be enjoying it. At the very end the simulator blows air and feels like you are crashing. He didn't enjoy that part very much!

Hawaii or bust!



So, as some may know, we just got back from Hawaii! We went with my parents, Luke and Ashley and Bryckmen (who was really good the whole trip). I never thought I would ever go there! It was so amazing! It was really hard to come back! You know sometimes on Vacations by the end you are ready to come home; you get tired, bored, etc. We tried to think of every excuse we could not to come back! We had so much fun! There just wasn't enough time to see it all! We had to get up pretty early to catch our flight there (4:45am!). As you probably know, I didn't shower (hence the hat). I am not a morning person, so I was pretty exhausted all day! I'm not really sleeping, but I probably could have been! It was never hard at night to go to sleep! Hawaii is about four hours behind Utah! The other picture is us by a marketplace. Bryckmen would stick his arm out like that for pictures. It was making me laugh!
