A MONTH in Hawaii?!?!?!

Kurt and I decided last minute to spend 5 extra days in Hawaii before the family joined us. We spent that time in Waikiki. Once the family arrived we spent a week in Turtle Bay on the North Shore of Oahu. We were all supposed to leave at the same time after Turtle Bay but I didn't make it on the flight so Kurt stayed with me and Jessica. We went to Maui in hopes that the flights were better. Jessica made it back to utah the next day but Kurt and I decided to stay on Maui and explore for a week. When we tried to leave after our time in Maui the flights were CRAZY full. 70 standbys and 4 got on. Yea for spring break!! Everyone is trying to come to or leave Hawaii so we finally had to buy tickets. Good news - we got to spend a month in Hawaii!!!

I found this lil' guy the first morning I was at Turtle Bay and watched the sunrise. Those rocks are actually grains of sand.

When we didn't make our first flight we met the Nielsens and the Robinsons at church the following Sunday. The Nielsens were nice enough to show us around Hana and let us crash with them the first night we met them! When we missed our flight the second time the Robinsons let us stay with them for a week! We were so grateful to find such generous people and we hope to keep their friendship for many years to come :)

Thanks guys!!
