Ammon excited to have some doughnuts Grandpa got him while we were waiting for our plane.
We made it to Hawaii! On our way to Laie we stopped at Waimea Bay.
Ammon was so excited...he ran straight for the water.
Handsome kid
Playing at Pounders Beach. Jeff and Tanner just got rocked by a massive wave.

Kristy was out in the water enjoying the large waves at Pounders Beach then along came a Portuguese Man o' War.
Caden and Ammon enjoying the sand
Ammon loved running along the beach dragging his boogie board
A great friend of Kent and Jeff's took us to a great spot to snorkel and see turtles. The minute we got there we saw turtles everywhere. Ammon was able to pick up snorkeling and get in on the action. We all loved it.
Snorkel buddies!
Lincoln Yamashita and his wife were so kind to have all of us over for a barbecue. It was an amazing evening. They cooked up a wonderful dinner.
Ammon and I are sporting our necklaces that Lincoln made for all of us. We all loved them.
Loving the beautiful beaches and warm water.

Kristy was out in the water enjoying the large waves at Pounders Beach then along came a Portuguese Man o' War.[(Physalia physalis), also known as the Portuguese man-of-war, man-of-war, or bluebottle, is a jelly-like marine invertebrate of the family Physaliidae. The name "man-of-war" is borrowed from the man-of-war, a 16th century English armed sailing ship which was based off of an earlier Portuguese vessel. Despite its outward appearance, the Man o' War is not a true jellyfish but a siphonophore, which differ from jellyfish in that they are not actually a single creature, but a colonial organism made up of many minute individuals called zooids. Each of these zooids is highly-specialized and, although structurally similar to other solitary animals, are attached to each other and physiologically integrated to the extent that they are incapable of independent survival. The Man o' War is found in warm water seas floating on the surface of open ocean, its air bladder keeping it afloat and acting as a sail while the rest of the organism hangs below the surface. It has no means of self-propulsion and is entirely dependent on winds, currents, and tides. The stinging venom-filled nematocysts in the tentacles of the Portuguese Man o' War can paralyze small fish and other prey. Detached tentacles and dead specimens (including those that wash up on shore) can sting just as painfully as the live creature in the water, and may remain potent for hours or even days after the death of the creature or the detachment of the tentacle. Stings usually cause severe pain to humans, leaving whip-like, red welts on the skin that normally last 2 or 3 days after the initial sting, though the pain should subside after about an hour. However, the venom can travel to the lymph nodes and may cause, depending on the amount of venom, a more intense pain.]
