Diamond Head (2)

We begin our hike to Diamond Head. We still have to get to Diamond head parking lot. Diamond head is the crater that an old volcano left, it was then a military base and part of it still is.
Beautiful views all along the way to the parking lot.
We are here! Now we can really start the hike.
The only way to go is UP.
More switch backs than a person wants to see.
Half way there!
This is where the military had zip lines they went to the now active military site to the left behind Trent.
We went through tunnels.......
and up stairs they say there is around 300 stairs. I think they are all right here. The stair master!
We made it to the TOP.
Looking back down to where we started.
Watch your step.
Headed back down.
 In the bunker, waiting to go down the stairs.
Like I said lots of stairs.
Much easier going down.
I loved all the pretty flowers in the parking lot.
So Trent started playing hide-N-seek.
Diamond head was beautiful!


The Adventure Begins (1)

Leaving the Idaho Falls airport, we already completed one of Trent's dreams. I guess he has always wanted to bored a plane by walking up the ramp.
When we arrived in Honolulu we walked around and went to the Waikiki Aquarium.
 They had lots of different kind of jelly fish. I think these were beautiful.
 These are some HUGE fish in the aquarium.
 Sea horses, who doesn't love sea horses?
 This seal was a new addition to the aquarium. He was kinda funny, this is him sleeping.
 Walking the boardwalk.
 Our Compadres.
 Tasting one of the "Cupcake Wars" winning cupcakes. It was delicious.
Then off to bed with the BIGGEST moon of the year, off the balcony of our apartment.

The Cousins (during)

This is what the kids did while we were in Hawaii, they got to play a lot with there cousins. Here is Brian explaining how you use the laser to the baby.
 These two little girls were quite a handful especially when they were together. They had a love-hate relationship.
 Over course who doesn't love to swing?
 Kylie loves clothes, she left her brothers underwear drawer a lone and had to try on all the new comers stuff. Luckily they didn't mind very much.
They had a blast and even now as I post they are all yelling "I want to play with Garrett!" Kylie is saying "Rachael, Alayed"...lol so cute.
