Hawaii!

We decided to go to Hawaii a few weeks after we got sealed for a second honeymoon/early anniversary since we will have a new little baby around our acutal anniversary. The day we were leaving they had the tsunami warning for honolulu and our family was worried and told us to cancel our trip. LOL we already had every thing paid for and figured if it was bad enough they would cancel the airport there and then maybe we could get our money back or get credit. Anyways, we flew in fine, it was over exagerated, like most things. I guess its better to be safe then sorry. We go there late Saturday night so we just went to bed but then on sunday we were going to snorkel, however it was VERY windy and so we changed it to monday and took the bus and went shopping and to pearl harbor. It was A LOT of walking lol. I told Tyson I hope I dont go into labor here lol, but it was good exercise. On monday it was VERY windy again and so we canceled our snorkleing again. We were sad not to be able to go, they were closed on tuesday and so we werent able to go at all. Good excuse to go back! We went to the Polynesian Cultural Center (PCC) instead. It was way cool. We learned so much there and our tickets were good for 3 days so on tuesday after we checked out we ended up getting a rental car and going there again to waste time until our plane left, which was not till 11:15 pm. We got to tour the Laie Temple, which was very neat. They are remodeling it so we were bummed we couldnt do a session there but it was very pretty. Another good excuse to go back! It rained one day off and on when we went to pearl harbor and was very windy the whole time, so it was not as good of weather as we thought it would be, however it felt nice and was still a lot warmer then Utah lol. We took so many pictures it was hard to pick a few to post so hopefully theres not too many but take a look.

The plane we flew on (Delta)

Outside of our hotel, it was acutally a condo

The kitchen had everything we needed, but no food lol it was very expensive for food. Like $8.78 for a gallon of milk and $6.50 for bagels. We went to subway one night and instead of $5 footlongs, its $9 footlongs and they dont take subway cards to put points on. The lady had no clue what it was. Weird anyways the bathroom was to the right of the kitchen, then...

you walk out to our bed and the living room or main area which lead to...

our balcony. We had a nice view. This is a view of our hotel from the beach. It was walking distance behind our hotel. We walked there but the water was freezing so we swam at our condo pool instead.

These are a few pics we took at Pearl Harbor:

These are some pics from the PCC, there are more becasue we were there 2 days:



Tyson learning to throw a spear. This is a guy from Figi carving a baseball bat from wood.

One of the huts in hawaii. This is a hawaiian lady who showed us what they do with the coconut shell. they take it and make all the strands of it smooth and then use that to tie the wood of their houses, they dont use nails.

Tyson learning how to use the little balls they swing around, lol I forgot what they are called

Tyson and I learned how to weave a fish out of coconut leaves. The one I made had 2 fishes and you pull them apart and then they kiss each other. Tysons was a fishing pole, you would pull the fish down and then throw it out and catch it. Kinda fun and interesting.

Tyson learning to use the batons they twirled these around with fire in the night show.

The Laie Temple (VERY PRETTY)
