Hawaii Part 1 - Shaved Ice, Beaches, Dole Plantation and Family Pictures

We got to go to Hawaii in March to visit Lyle and Jeanna and the boys. We had such a blast seeing the sites and visiting with family. Thanks Lyle and Jeanna for letting us stay with you!

After flying over night we got to Oahu. Poor Shelby got sick and had a 102 fever. So the first part of our vacation we were just trying to get her better. After a blessing from James and Lyle and plently of rest and fluids her fever broke and we were ready to start seeing the sights. Here are some of the highlights from our trip

Shaved Ice -

After we got done at the beach we headed over to get some shaved ice. So good!!




Dole Plantation -

We went to the Dole Plantation. We took a train tour around the plantation and learned about how pineapples are grown. Did you know it takes 18 months to grow a pineapple? Then James, Shelby and I went over to the Botanical Garden. So pretty. Before we left we had to try the Dole Whip.

Blow Hole -
It was pretty neat to watch when the waves came in and would shoot water through this hole in the rocks.


Snorkeling at Sharks Cove -

This is James' first go at snorkeling. He was pretty brave because there were some seriously big waves that day. I chickened out and poor James came back with some pretty big scrapes from rubbing against the coral but he had a good time. Shelby had a blast on the beach and really enjoyed the sand.


Family Pics -
We got some great shots on the beach. Thanks Lyle for taking them for us!



Stayed tuned..... More to come!
