You Have to Read This...

Abe's oldest brother, Ben (the potter), has written and published his first book. It's titled Remembering Isaac. It's a really great book, both Abe and I really enjoyed reading it! You should definitely check it! You can purchase it from Amazon.com, the link is below. If you read it let me know what you think! We're both pretty impressed with Ben's writing and he's already working on the sequel! Hope you enjoy!

Our Hawaiian Vacation

The Beach
This is our favorite beach spot. It has some really nice waves for body surfing and boogie boarding. AND it's usually not very crowded.


Barbers Point Lighthouse
We went to a luau here at Barbers Point. Great food and great entertainment!


Relaxation...
Can you tell how relaxed we are? And it's only the 2nd day!


Sunset
I love taking pictures of sunsets, so I had to snap a shot of this one!


The Dole Plantation
Gotta love pineapple...and pineapple ice cream...and chocolate-covered pineapple!


Watchin' the Waves
We found this beach that is lined with volcanic rock. Very interesting.


Parasailing
We went parasailing one day...so much fun!

Snorkeling

We went snorkeling at Hanauma Bay. It's probably the best place to snorkel in Oahu. The coolest parts was swimming along side a giant sea turtle...surreal!

Pearl Harbor

This is the Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor. We took a boat out to it and were able to see the sunken battleship.

Skydiving

The best part of the trip (at least for me!) was skydiving. Abe even took our camera with him. This is a shot he took of himself floating back down to earth.

Down There

Abe got this shot of the airfield we took off from. They dropped us out over the ocean at 13,000 feet up, and then the winds pushed us back inland.

My New Addiction...

Here I am after surviving my first jump (behind me is the guy I jumped tandem with, he's made over 5200 jumps!). It was the scariest, most awesome thing I've ever done! I will definitely do it again!

Well, hope you enjoyed our pictures. I know I enjoyed taking them! :o)

Ice Cream Cones

Jake and Logan love eating ice cream cones and for some reason, they have to eat them in our front yard sitting there on the sidewalk. But it makes for a cute picture!
