Our Week In Hawaii

Since our honeymoon to Maui, Tyson and I have been dying to go back to Hawaii! We thought it would be a few years before we could go back but we came across an opportunity that we couldn't resist. Tyson's brother is a pilot and he was nice enough to give us some buddy passes. Also Tyson's grandparents are in Hawaii on a mission until April so we also had a guaranteed place to stay. We realised that if we used our credit card points they could reimburse us for all our traveling expenses on this trip. So it wasn't a very hard decision to make! Two weeks later, we made our way to the airport. It was a little scary since we were using buddy passes!

This is us waiting for our plane. We were so excited and nervous! We had no idea if we were going to make the flight.

Unfortunately, we didn't make it on the first flight. The plane actually left with 16 empty seats! So we were feeling a little discouraged. Tyson's brother Avery was at the airport, about to fly out, so he gave us a quick tour so Tyson and I got to hang out with him while waiting for the next flight out.

The next day we were in Hawaii! We were dying to get to the beach but it was a little windy so Phill and Helen gave us a tour of the BYU campus and took us over to see the temple (we couldn't actually go in the temple our whole trip because it has been closed for renovations! but it is still nice to go walk around the grounds.)

While there, we were sure to go to the major attractions
Tyson at the PCC. He participated in one of the ceremonies. He got pretty into it! Way more than any of the other husbands out there ha ha.

We also went to Pearl Harbor. We didn't go see the Arizona cause it was so expensive, but it was cool to walk on the grounds and see all the monuments.
This kid was so funny! Tyson was trying to take a picture of this ship but this little guy here saw the camera and posed for the picture. I about peed my pants I was laughing so hard.

Mostly we spent our time on the beach and finding cool hikes to go on. It was so nice to get away and have some adventures!

This place was SO cool. Plus it was pouring so hard we were soaked in 10 seconds! It was a fun hike.

Lookout over the ocean.
We spent a lot of time boogy boarding. So much fun!
This guy decided to take a break on our beach. He was so big and smelly!
This was a really cool waterfall. Some guys would hike up the cliff 50 ft and jump down into the pools. So crazy! When they hit the water it sounded like a gunshot. The pain from hitting the water doesn't seem like it would be worth it to me...

We had such a good time on our trip and were very sad to come home to cold Utah! Thanks so much to our family who helped us get out to Hawaii! We appreciate ya!
