Hawaii part 3

Part three also comes from Mom's camera. I have a few pics that I took that might make it up here later, but these are so much better than mine!

The whole group on our last day in Hawaii in front of a giant hawaiian shirt at Hilo Hatties.

(back row: Yhone, Dad, Erin, Lauren, Nancy, Rick, Lucas, Jared.
Front: Sarah, Mom, Maddy, Natalie, Christine.)

Opening pearls. It is so addicting. You open one up and it's so pretty and then they talk you into putting it in a pretty setting and then they give you a free oyster to open and you get another pearl and you want to set it and... Dad calls it the vortex.
Here is Maddy with her pretty pearl

Lucas picked these glasses at the flea market. He sure has his own style.

Jared trying to make fire at the PCC

Sporting our new tattoos at the PCC

Too bad this isn't a video because we are all working the hips while we learn the hula.

Jared and Lucas right after getting tattoos. Lucas isn't sure what he thinks of his yet.

The whole group showing off the angelfish that we made out of palm fronds. They are hard to see here, but they were pretty sweet and we did a good job.

Feeding the fish in the river at the PCC

Lucas has creepy glowing eyes, but he is having a dance party with his Aunt Erin in the hotel room.

Hawaii part 2

Part two of our fabulous trip comes from Mom's camera. There will be a part three, but so far this is what I have done today.
Lucas on the USS Missouri. He was pushing this thing even though it was cemented to the ground.

Here he is pushing and making a good pushing face

Taking a breakPlaying a drum at the PCC

Dad and Mr. Ricky in all their awesomeness

Mr. Ricky and Nancy at the PCC luau

Lukie eating the purple sweet potato rolls. He LOVED them.

Us with the cool samoan show guy. Lucas is behind Jared. He didn't want to cooperate.

I think they were mad at Lauren. Lauren was sad.
(For the record, the back row is Madelyn, Erin, Natalie (Nancy and Rick's daughter), Sarah, and Yhone)

At the beach. I should remember which one, but I don't right now.

Enjoying the beach and sunset

Maddy captaining a boat

On the USS Missouri Tour. Apparently Erin was about to hit dad with his own hat.
UPDATE: Erin (from the comments) says: "I would like to point out that Dad tossed his hat over a display at me and mom and that picture was us hamming it up after that. Luckily, when the hat came sailing through the air I saw the "Alaska" written on it and knew of its origins immediately!:

Erin was looking for a way out

The awesome guns of the USS Missouri. It was huge!

Lucas and Jared before the tour. Lucas liked his sailor hat.

Dad sporting a lady's hat and looking sharp

Lucas getting a ride from Aunt Lauren.

Hawaii

I was a picture taking slacker in Hawaii, so I got the pictures from my family. The trip was awesome. There will be more pics, but this is the trip (mostly just pics of Luke) according to Lauren and Maddy's cameras.

The family at the Hawaii Temple

What most of the other tries looked like

A beautiful sunset shot from our hotel

Dad in his "I don't want to get burned and don't care if I look like a tourist because I am one" hat and his typical video camera attached to his face :)

On the deck of the USS Missouri

It was windy

Father and son bonding over a cool gun

Somebody had to do it.

The family at Pearl Harbor

Totally not from our trip, but this is an awesome picture of Erin and Kevin from when Kevin got his endowments before his mission.
