Hawaii

December 3-10 we got to go to Hawaii with my parents and a few friends (Abell & Brit). We had a blast! The plane ride over took forever but it was worth it! We got there that evening on the 3rd and checked into our hotel, which was a time share we got through some friends of my parents.

On day 2 we went on a hike with my parents on the big island. This is the vehicle we rode to get to the hiking trail.

We saw lot of waterfalls, but nothing as big as we hoped. It's very dry on that half of the island (Kona)

After the hike we met up with Abell and Brit and went to Hapuna Beach and hung out there the rest of the day.

Inbetween jumping waves, Kemp and Abell made some chairs and sand castles. I know, very masculine huh?

My parents created a sea turtle. Pretty good huh?

Day 3: We went on a Glass Bottom Boat in Kona and walked around the strip.

Day 4: We drove over to the other side of the island and went on a helicopter ride and saw a little of the active volcanoes. We also went to the Volcanoes National Park.

That night we went to the Southern Most Point in the U.S. We saw a few dolphins out in the ocean and watched the sun set. It was really awesome!

Day 5: On Sunday we went to a church right next door to the Temple.

After church we sinned and went kayaking around Captain Cook's Monument.

Day 6: We took a plane over to Oahu. We started the day by going to Pearl Harbor.

Then we went to the Polynesian Cultural Center.

Day 7: Abell and Brit were about to go to a session in the temple. It is a beautiful place! We had to catch a plane that morning to Kauai so we missed out on doing a session.

Once we flew into Kauai we made out way over to zipline through the forest.
