Babymoon - Oahu, Hawaii 2010

As a celebration of our 7 year wedding anniversary, our "Babymoon," and a BYU conference we went to Oahu, Hawaii.

Our lovely car rental

Manawili Falls Hike (we didn't make it to the falls because of the muddy trail)


Laie Hawaii Temple (closed until July for renovations, the 5th temple ever built)

Ooohhh Laie Point. The 1940's tsunami busted out the back of the rocks making the arch.

Sea turtles basking in the sun


Birthing rocks where the queens used to deliver their babies. Thank goodness for modern technology!

We attended the business plan competition at BYU-H. My Aunt Rosie and Uncle Rod Ashby were also attending as judges.


Hanauma Bay
Beautiful place to go snorkeling! You can explore all of the coral reef. On our way out we saw a turtle swimming around.





Super cute :)
