ALOHA!!!

For Thanksgiving we decided to do a little college visit to the BYU-Hawaii campus!  We all thought that would be an excellent idea and to go and visit Christine.  We got to spend a wonderful week exploring the island.  The beaches were gorgeous and the boys spent plenty of time in the water diving.  The girls spend plenty of time above the water just enjoying some quality beach time!

We took a day to take Kaeli's senior pictures and some updated family pictures which were long overdue.  Josh, who normally HATES his picture taken, actually got into the whole day and provided us some looks!

This is my favorite one of Kaeli!  She is so beautiful!!!

It's fun to see them having fun together!  They have grown really close this year and I know Josh is going to miss her so much next year.

Aren't they cute!!!

Kaeli took her best friend Avery with us!!

We had a great time at the Polynesian Cultural Center!  The girls decided to volunteer Josh to dance and play the drums.  He did a very good job!!!

The girls had fun talking the local boys :)

Kaeli fits right in to the Hawaii lifestyle!

You can't visit Hawaii and not go to the Dole Plantation!  Pineapple dole whip is my favorite treat in the whole world!  It even came in a pineapple cup!!  The family had fun the maze which Kaeli and Josh turned into a full blown competition!  Not that my kids are competitive or anything!!  Avery & I took our time!  We rode the pineapple express through the fields.

One of my favorite days was visiting Pearl Harbor.  It was an amazing day and I have a great respect for our military men who serve our country and those who gave their lives doing it.

I'm hoping that Kaeli will decide that she loves Hawaii and wants to go to school there so I can visit her  often!!
