Utah Trip 

We went to Utah and visited Tara's family.


Tara, Shara, and Brandon did the 10K. 
Uncle Ryan showed the kids his fun toys. 
And even let Ryzen try some.

Ryan's Wedding Reception

Tara's brother Ryan married Cassie at the top of a mountain and held a reception at Ryan's cabin.

Blackberry Picking

Big Lake Family Camp
Tara took the middle 3 kids to a family camp.  Aria didn't want to go, so she stayed behind and watched Everest while I had to work.



















Hawaii
We stayed at the condo Tara's uncle Ray owns near Turtle Bay on the north shore of Oahu.  It was quiet and beautiful. 

We enjoyed snorkeling at Shark's Cove, which had a good amount of sea life to see.  The best snorkeling we did, though, was at Three Tables.  Tara and I saw a ton of beautiful fish and a couple sea turtles. 


Here are some of the unique trees that grow there.


Tara took the boys boogie boarding. They got chucked into the shore a few times, but still had a lot of fun.




Hanging in Honolulu





Polynesian Cultural Center
We enjoyed going to the Polynesian Cultural Center.  The show for Samoa was our favorite.



The boys had fun doing cash and release fishing.





Hawaii Temple
The temple grounds are beautiful!




Snorkeling Three Tables
Ted's Bakery

Done Pineapple Plantation
After eating a pineapple ice cream cone, Ryzen's hands were so tasty that a little gecko couldn't help but lick Ryzen's hand. 



Hanauma Bay
Zade described getting there like having to go through airport security.  It had some great snorkeling in spots, but Three Tables was better and was much less of a hassle.
