Winter Vacations can't get better then this!!!!

So about 3 weeks ago I got an email from expedia with their promotions that they had right now. We weren't planning on it but we couldn't pass up the deal they had for a 4 night, plus airfare trip they had to Hawaii. So we booked it and went a week and half later. These pictures are in no particular order, just how I downloaded them.

This picture was taken at Pearl Harbor. That metal piece that is in the water is part of the Arizona, that got sunk and has men buried in it. We are on the memorial.

We went parasailing. It was a very fun experience. We were about 300ft in the air. We were up their for about 10 minutes. The driver dipped us into the ocean. Luckily we didn't see any sharks!!!

This is just a beautiful picture of the ocean.
We climbed some rocks through a shallow part of water to climb this bigger rock to see the ocean. We were right their it seemed in the middle of the ocean when we were on the other side of it.

This is a picture of all of us at Kualoa Ranch. It is where Jurassic Park, Lost, Godzilla, 50 first dates, and many more movies were filmed. We went on an hour long 4-wheeler ride and saw some of the famous movie sites. Then we went in a 6-wheeler vehicle exploring. We tasted fresh fruit of of the trees that you can only get their. They were sooooooooooo good.
We tried to go bogey boarding. It didn't really work for me because I am used to California waves and at this time the waves were just not very good for bogey boarding. But the boys still tried and succeeded a little.
Just a picture of Rick and I taken at a man made waterfall right in front of our hotel.

Our hotel is right in the background somewhere. We were right on Waikiki beach. It was really pretty.
We also went snorkeling at hanauma bay. It was soooooo pretty. There were tons of fish. We took lots of pictures with some waterproof cameras. We saw about 4 different turtles. They along with the fish were close enough to touch.
We had a blast. Thank you everyone that helped out with the kids!!

How fun!!! I went to Hawaii once with Bud while he worked for 2 days. It wasn't long enough and he had to sleep all day long so we really didn't do a whole lot either. But hey, I can say I've been to Hawaii.

While you were gone Peyslie told me "you and dad need to go to the beach too" I totally agree with her (well not right now I'd be mistaken for a whale!) LOL I'm glad you finally had a chance to get to Hawaii!!
