Hawaii

Everyone should get married in Hawaii.

On Tuesday we flew from Albuquerque to Salt Lake.  We met up with my family then flew from Salt Lake to Los Angeles, then to Honolulu.  Riley was pretty good on the plane, but he was a little grumpy.  I bought him little toys from the dollar store and wrapped them up as gifts for him.  That helped, but Riley ended up being sick.  He was pretty sick the first half of the week and Andrew or I had to be holding him all the time.  The only thing that made him happy was birds.  Luckily there were birds everywhere.



We stayed in a house with all my family and Dan's family.  It was two blocks from the temple one direction and two blocks from the beach in the other direction.  We rented a convertable, it was so fun.

The first day we went snorkeling at Turtle Beach.  Riley was pretty grouchy and didn't like touching the sand.  But he was happy for a few pictures.

The next day we went to the Polynesian Cultural Center.  It was really fun.

A little sad

A little happy, and a lot happy

The ducks made Riley happy






Friday Brianna and Dan got married.  It was a beautiful sealing.  I'm super happy for them.

I actually didn't get any pictures of Brianna and Dan,  but they looked great and had lots of good professional pictures. Then we went to eat.


Everybody in the family
After lunch we went on a scenic drive.






Riley is so happy because he could see the chickens





We went to Laie point and drank a coconut.

This is an accurate picture of what Riley looked like every time we tried to set him down 




Saturday my dad went home. We went snorkeling at Hananuma Bay and Riley was finally feeling better.


Sunday we went to church and went on a walk around Laie and BYU-Hawaii.  Oh and opened coconuts from the back yard.

Someone was a little tired

Monday we went on a hike to a waterfall, just for Carly.  Then we watched some surfers and played at the beach.

Tuesday we were supposed to go home but our flight got delayed and we ended up spending the night in Los Angeles.  But we made it home the next day.

Made it home!  It was a little cold.
We had a great time despite Riley being sick.  It was beautiful and so much fun.
