More pictures from Hawaii

This is just a sample of the BEAUTIFUL sunsets in Hawaii..
So Matt layed down on a wall and the tide was coming in....so we got a couple of good shots of his head getting attacked by some killer waves...he had a blast.

So I love this picture of my brothers...Nathan is on the far left then Matt, then Jonathan in the red. It was so funny through out the trip no matter where we were or where we were going...if the boys were walking together..this is how they ended up walking. Matt in the middle with Jonathan and Nathan on the sides...oldest to youngest or youngest to oldest how ever you want to see it...

See what I mean? They had no clue I was even taking the picture...I was inside our rented van watching them...boys...
This is the black sand of the Black Sand Beach in Hawaii...it is illegal to take sand from the beach otherwise I would have brought some back....but it was seriously way cool to see.

So this is just one of the sea turtles that we saw while in Hawaii...

Cambria and Brynn LOVE to hold hands while traveling...they even do it just around town...it is just about the cutest thing ever..Brynn or Cambria will reach out towards the other one and then then the other will respond and this is what happens....Brynn's hand is on the right and Cambria's is on the left.
So this is one of the pictures of the lava going into the ocean...it's a little blurry because we forgot to bring the tripod with us from the car and it was like a 1/2 mile walk to see this....but it still looks pretty good. I was so cool to see....all lit up like that...the clouds are smoke from the lava hitting the water in the ocean. There are so many other pictures I can add but for right now...this is all...I promise to put some more up later.

Hawaii...

Sorry it has been so long since I last posted! I have been busy. Ok so life has been crazy over the past couple of months...I mean when is it not, but especially the last month. Anyway, about a month ago my family and I took a trip to Hawaii. Now for those of you who are wondering we went to Kona, Hawaii. This is one of the main cities on the BIG Island of Hawaii. We had a great time. This is a picture of Cambria kissing Brynn..it was the night before we left...we finally took some family pictures. My parents have been planning on this trip for four years. Yes four years...first Jonathan went on his mission and then Matt...and their missions overlapped by six weeks...hence the four years. It was a great trip. We stayed in a house that didn't have any air conditioning...you would think that it wouldn't be a problem in Hawaii but let me tell you...it was stinkin' HOT!! Because of the added humity...it wasn't horrible but it wasn't my favorite either. The house also had some unusal house guests. Geckos..yes live ones crawling on the walls and ceilings. There were I think a total of 4 of them. Story time for a minute...one day I was holding Brynn and we were sitting on the couch and all of the sudden I felt something wet hit my shoulder...I look up and there is a geeko on the ceiling right above us...oh yeah the gecko peed on us. Fun stuff....gross!!! Anyway, we went snorkeling, saw the volcano, saw where the lava from the volcano went into the ocean (way awesome by the way), went shopping, hung out at the beach..just relaxed. It was a great trip. I would love to go back to Hawaii, but I think I want to go to a different island..next time...here are some more pictures from our trip.
This is one of the geckos that lived in the house...Cambria name it Sweetie Pie....
