HAWAII!

And our adventure began...

Sunday, March 11th, 2012

First, we arrive at the Salt Lake City Airport at 6:30 a.m. Mom, me, Haley, Hannah and Hyrum all fly to Las Vegas together thinking we will all get on the flight to Hawaii. The turn out- Haley, Hannah and Brynn watch Las Vegas from a window 'til 1 a.m. Monday. Hyrum and Mom fly straight into Honolulu, Oahu. I know, the things we suffer. Going to Hawaii is hard enough, but staying there for years... no, no, no. It was actually a party! 

Brother Breton joins us at 8 p.m. We play Scum, Golf, Speed Scrabble, Egyptian Ratscrew, BS, listen to songs on Breton's fancy Iphone... It couldn't have been better. Just when we thought it couldn't get more fun (just as we realized our snacks were long-gone) Breton discovered the U.S.O. This is a place where all Army soldiers and relatives can get all-u-can-eat vending machine food, fall asleep to movies in a big, dark room full of sleeping bundles of old Army guys, go on the internet, play xbox, get a supply of razors, tooth brushes, tooth paste, lotions, shampoo, etc. from the donated stash and more. This place felt like a Disney Land to travelers like ourselves. We came back to sleep after we all missed our flight to Hawaii at 1am Monday morning. But, don't worry, we got on a flight to L.A. at\/\//\/\/\/\/

(speed scrabble: every plane wait of our lives and it never gets old)

(making camp in airports: this is my bed. this is a pic of the mirror ceiling- a reflection of me laying down beside the airport chairs. oh, that mirror provided many fun games for me and Hannah- don't wanna ruin our good reputations by telling you about them.)

And during all that, Hyrum and Mom did this...

Man who made toys and hats out of palm leaves and Hyrum- he gave him a rose&a boat.

Paddle Boarding

Ammon and Breton rented paddle boards and went out for a 2 hour ride about a mile or two out!

We have an underwater case for our GoPro camera, so Breton suction cupped it to the front of his paddle board for the entire ride! Therefore, the video's are extremely long- they make me sea sick. If you don't want to watch all 23 minutes of this ocean, I can help you skip to the good parts! He films a turtle swimming under the water! It's the coolest part! He doesn't show it in this, but he tried to catch it when it came really close to him. The camera may be extremely wiggly because he was trying not to fall off his board.
12:45  The GoPro films a school of big fish deep down 
13:10 Breton sees the turtle for the first time! It's so cool, please watch!

MUHALO!! Have a great day! Love, Brynnie
