A storm was coming in , just as we were leaving
The Valley of the temples by Ahuimanu was a beauitful garden and there were places to hike and enjoy the ponds
This picture was taken at the Buddist Temple near the Pali Highway
The boys being cute for the camera, Kelton and Alistair have the same expression about having this done.

Hawaii was pretty amazing , the sites we saw will always be inbedded in our heads and our hearts. Due to there being so many pictures and so much to tell you, I'm going to pick the highlights and fill in the blanks as I remember them. Jeff , Alistair and I arrived in Honolulu after the family got there on Monday, so the rental beach house was well christened for us when we arrived. We stayed on the North Shore of Oahu and was able to enjoy everything that shore had to offer , such as the Sea Turtles and many of the top beaches. We visited Pearl Harbor and Wikiki Beach to name of few of the places on the Southern shores. Jeff was in heaven taking pictures and I think the final count was 550 pictures ! The weather was hot and sticky , but on some nights it was cool and rainy. Alistair slept pretty well while on vacation , I think he really enjoyed himself while he was there too.
