Outings...

Here are some pictures from a pot luck, coconut husking, and spearfishing.
We had a pot luck for a our couple missionaries in our ward. They are getting ready to go back home. We have been able to get to know them and they will be greatly missed. They are the nicest people. I'm glad we were able to meet them and grow from their testimonies as well. At the pot luck they split people in to teams and you had to husk a coconut, crack it open, and put the juice in a cup to see who could fill their cup up the fullest.





David and his friend Jared took Harrison spearfishing. He did better then I thought he would. No one caught anything, but I was surprised to see Harrison swim so far out in the water. He came back with in 30 mins because he was tired but the other two boys stayed for a few hours. Harrison laid out and soaked up the sun, and went on many coconut hunts. He didn't find any. We went to a beach on the front side of turtle bay. It is one of my favorite beaches. Very secluded and beautiful.

Hiking!!

Yesterday we woke up and decided to hike Diamond head. Diamond head is the most famous volcanic crater in the world. David wasn't to excited to hike it but he ended up really enjoying it. You hiked up a paved road, up lots of stairs, through a tunnel, more stairs, and more stairs.. Some of the stairs were pretty steep. We passed by some old world war 1 bunkers and ended the hike in an old bunker which you climb out of and see all of Honolulu. Which the view was really beautiful. There was a light house below us. The hike up was pretty ugly since everything was so dry and dead. We really liked this hike! Since we enjoyed it so much we decided to go on another hike, and explore around some.










We drove to Haunauma Bay and looked around. We will have to take Harrison back so he can snorkel. That place it just always sooooo packed. From above the water you see more bodies then the reef! (not really) but the water was crowded with people. We stayed there for a bit and then took harrison to see sandy's beach and another bay that David has scuba dived and really likes. After these few places we decided to hike Mokapu lighthouse.






Mokapu Lighthouse was a fun hike. The lighthouse was pretty dang small.. I was thinking it would be bigger but it was still cute! This hike was a paved road as well, but it was windy and all up hill! Good work out. And what kind of day would it be if I didn't get a picture of me jumping? Hahah... I jump a lot! We had a lot of fun and are glad we took the whole day to see beautiful Hawaii. We really do love this place so much! (We took a lot of pics, so the ones that I don't post here will be on facebook.)

Fun in the sun.. Plus the Fourth.. And more

We have been hittin' up the beach almost everyday and enjoying the nice weather. Harrison is getting better and better at surfing. He is trying to get a good tan so he lays out a lot as well.



The boys have been playing with guns.. (a dragonoff??) Its a gun from Halo I guess.


We have been drinking coconut juice and eating shaved ice. Harrison did not like the coconut juice at all.



Our Fourth of July was fun.. We went with some friends to dinner to celebrate Asharas birthday. We missed the Turtle bay fireworks so we went how and lit off a few of our own. Sunday we had a yummy BBQ. I was doing the dishes while Harrison and David were outside cooking the chicken when I hear laughing. I look out side and David is pushing Harrison on the swing. These two crack me up everyday. Harrison and I also did face masks.. (the little sister I always wanted)

The candy man can!!

If you eat too much candy do you really turn in to Willy Wonka?

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

Happy Father's Day Dad!!
One of my favorite memories:
So I was on the computer home all alone and I hear a knock at the door and I remember I didn't lock the door which wasn't a big deal because I never did. Well this freaky scary man looks into the window at the top of the door and I have no idea who this man is. He has long black hair and is wearing all black and has a big beard. My heart stopped and these thoughts ran through my head over and over.. YOU ARE DEAD! I thought I was going to be murdered and no one would hear me and I didn't want to call grandma because I didn't want the man to know she lived next door to us because then he would kill her too. So I start to run when this man is yelling let me in and opens the front door. I grab the phone and head to lock myself in my room when I hear my dads laugh.. I was so confused until he said Elissa it's me.. The scariest night of my life. He did a pretty dang good job at his make up and everything.. My dad loves to pull pranks and jokes around with everyone. And he is good at it. Thank you Dad for ruining me for the rest of my life because I hate being home alone!! :) Naahh.. Thank you for being such an understanding, wonderful, hard working Dad. You are the BEST! HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

Harrison Surfing!

Harrison is learning how to surf, and he is actually doing quite well.. He has gone out a couple of times.. He has to come in to eat some candy because he says the water is way to salty for him!! It's pretty funny. He comes in and says "Candy please" I put a piece in his mouth and then he goes back out to surf. Hahah.. Here are some pictures of him.
