HAWAII

We just got home from a family vacation to Hawaii. We had soooooo much fun, and I am ready to go back next week (I wish:). The girls had a blast and ask everyday when we get to go back there, and Kamryn is constantly wondering where the ocean is.
We did so many fun things while we were there, so I couldn't really narrow my pictures down too much, so sorry for the picture overload.

Here's a quick run down of the things we did:

We went on the most beautiful hike to this waterfall...
Kamryn got a little tired during the hike, and so she found herself some "walking sticks"

We went to the Honolulu Zoo. It was way cool. They had cool animals and just the way it was laid out was pretty amazing. The girls loved the petting zoo the best...

We went to the Dole Plantation and ate pineapple ice cream...
Saw how pineapples grow....

Went on another cool hike out to the point of the Oahu island and found this beached Seal at the end....

Played at the beach...
Ben attempted to take Hailey snorkeling, but it did not last too long....
We ate a pig...
Drank yummy smoothies from pineapples...
Ben surfed...
and even hulaed. (He's gonna kill me when he sees this on here)
no, I was not the only adult in this hula dancing lesson...
Made our very own leis...
Kamryn was really good at it too...
Played in the Ocean (of course)
Buried Hailey in the sand...
And Kamryn...
The girls picked every flower on the Island...
We cracked open our own coconut...
Went to the Sea Life Park...
Saw the Seals....
And Dolphins...
Fed the Sea Turtles...
Went to Pearl Harbor
(Such an awesome experience)
This is a wall of the names of all the men who died that morning
U.S.S. Arizona

And I think we saw just about every inch of the Island...
