Hawaii!

About a year or so ago, we were talking with my sister-in-law Kami and her husband Stephen and decided we should celebrate with a trip when Kory and Stephen graduated from college. They graduated this past December which meant time for celebration! Hawaii was chosen as our destination and February for the time so we could get out of the winter for a little bit.

We decided to go to Oahu. We were also lucky enough to convince Kory's parents and little sister Karli to tag along. Stephen found us a great little house right off the ocean to rent. Our backyard was literally the beach, it was BEAUTIFUL! I know you would rather see pictures than read me rattling on and on so, here you go! Please enjoy a teeny snippet of our vacation!!

Our Backyard.We never knew this is how pineapples grow! This is a field on the side of the road.

1st: Part of the Arizona that sits above water.
2nd: Kory with the Mississippi(?) in the background.
3rd: You can look at the Arizona from this area.Sea Turtle on the beach-"basking"
Sea turtle in the ocean.
We of course took a morning for the beautiful Laie temple.
I just had to throw this picture in because really? how cute!

I couldn't resist a picture of Kory "surfing" the waves.
This is obviously just a small picture of our vacation, I wish I could show you all the pictures but I think you would get bored after awhile. It was such a blast and soooo warm!
