Aloha!

















Ryan and I just spent a week with our friends, Kerri and Chris from Arizona in Hawaii. We left Jax at the grandparent's houses and had a great time. Kerri and I hung out on the beach with the boys played frisbee for hours in the ocean. We ate a lot of delicious food, shopped, did a session at the temple and explored towns. We ziplined over beautiful waterfalls for FREE. The guy from the snorkeling shop told us to talk to Luke at the Zipline shop. When we called, Luke was out on a tour. So when we got to the shop the next day, Luke had totally hooked us up and gave us the zipline tour, which would have cost us $150/person, for FREE. The tour giudes from the zipline shop told us about a gorgeous hike up the river that leads to a waterfall that you can swim at the base of. That was the prettiest place I have ever seen. We bodysurfed and got sand in places I didn't even know were there. We swam with Manta Rays at night. Those suckers are 16 feet wide and swim right against you. It was insane and the coolest thing we did. I would recommend it to anyone. We went to a luau and ate TONS of crazy food and had great entertainment. We had a fabulous time. We stayed at Rod and MaryAnn's beautiful villa on the golf course. We had perfect weather the entire week. It was a perfect vacation. We loved everything about it.
