A week in Hawaii!

We went to Oahu to be with Aaron's brother, Cameron and fiancé Tiana for their big day. The got married in the chapel at the Hilton Hotel. It was a beautiful, traditional Hawaiian wedding.

While we were in Hawaii we decided to see some of the sights...

The Honolulu Zoo

Aaron, Robyn (his mom) and I went to the zoo while Clark (his dad) was playing golf with Tiana's grandfather.

Went to the beach and buried Aaron in the sand

This was the beach we got our stuff stolen from our car at. So at the end of the day we were without our backpack with Janel's wallet, cell phone and pants, the GPS, some souvenirs, Robyn's purse and camera. We called the police and reported it, but we never saw it again. But, we still had a good trip. We just had to experience ALL of Hawaii!


Went snorkeling in Hanauma Bay

The Hawaii State fish: The humuhumunukunukuapua' a

(say that three times fast)

We saw some really amazing fish and yes, even a sea turtle! This defiantly made Janel's day since she has always wanted to see a turtle while snorkeling!

The Dole Plantation

The Polynesian Cultural Center

We went to different villages, a luau and a night show. It is such a fun place to go and see the different Polynesian cultures. It is one of our favorite places to go on the island.

As well as the "Man Eating Tree"

This tree is by the beach in Waikiki across from our hotel and it if you get to close it may eat you! Looks mean, huh?!

A good time was had by all!
