Trip to Oahu!

We just got home from an amazing week to Oahu! Danny was going to BYU Hawaii for work he's doing some recruiting for his graduate programs. I decided to go along to celebrate our (late) 18th wedding anniversary and my 40th Birthday!  I turn 40 in November and it as a perfect way to do a celebratory trip!
We had a terrfic, fun, relaxing, wonderful, dreamy few days in Laie, on Oahu. It was incredible!
 Here are the pictures and a few pics from the kids at home etc.. 

The kids had tons of fun at home with Natalie & Richie! They made spider cookies, which is so fun!  Thanks a ton to them for watching our kids! 

We spent all of Danny's free time at the beach! It's our favorite spot anywhere and it's the best! Danny and a big beard when we got to Hawaii. He shaved it off for his meeting at BYU Hawaii. Change is good. While Danny was working I spent lots of time by the pool, walked to the beach and relaxed. It was nice to have a break and read etc... Hawaii is the best for humidity and weather its my favorite weather ever! 

We had good food, fresh fish, Acai bowls, shrimp, coconut pie etc... Lots of yummy options! 

One day we went snorkeling with sea turtles and it was awesome! The turtles are really cool and we had fun exploring in the ocean. Danny had a few surf sessions and we both swam, boogie boarded and had a blast in the ocean. The water there is the perfect temperature and it feels so good! 

One day we went and bought a bmch of fresh fruit from the fruits stand and ate it as a delicious snack at the beach! It was tasty! 

Sunsets at Sunset beach on the north shore of Hawaii. It was so gorgeous and a perfect night. 

Danny loved seeing all the ukulele stores and shops with custom made instruments on the island. He is having a custom made ukulele made for him and it's going to be beautiful! One night we got together with my cousin Stephanie. It was great to see her and catch up with her, she's a lot of fun!

It was my first time to this island and it as fun to see the traditional things like the PCC. We had fun eating at the Luau, seeing all the different islands etc... It's an amazing place and lots of things to see and do! 

What a terrific trip! We LOVE Hawaii.  

We flew home Saturday night really late and then hung out at home all day Sunday after church. We made home made pizzas for dinner and it as yummy!
Life is busy, but great!
