"Is That Your Chris Farley Look?"

So tonight at work some of the ladies I work with looked at my blog and when they came across my beach photos from Hawaii not one of them was able to look at it without laughing! Not just a little giggle but full on laughing. There were comments made such as " I like the board shorts!" or " The necklace is stylin.." It went on for a while and it was even made the screen saver on prob five or six computer without even getting permission or rights from the author!! But there was one comment that really made me think " Ok time to hit the gym!" It was " Is that your Chris Farley look?" Or somehting similar to that. WOW I knew I was not in the best shape but Chris Farley???????????

Come on Spring!!!!

With the warm weather lately I have really had the itch for spring to get here and to get out and do some fun things. One of the things that we do is ride fourwheelers and there is one ride in particular I look forward to every year............Devil's Racetrack! We took Calvin and Linda last year and we had a great time! The scenery is beautiful and the ride is just challenging enough to make it a tad intense at times. Chase came with and we even got to see a few big horn sheep. These sheep however did not have big horns!! I am so ready for spring!!!

Chase has been my photograohy tutor and my work has gotten better but it is nothing like his photos! His stuff is amazing.

This is the little overlook that we stopped on to eat. It overlooks a deep ravine and the view is amazing!

The final two days.....

The other two days of the trip we spent doing various activities. We took a hike up to a waterfall and enjoyed the scenery on the way up. The trees were huge! Rebecca went to the filming site of the TV series Lost, Wade and I went golfing at a golf course that they claim is the hardest in the world, and Callie enjoyed some time at the beach! We also spent some time snorkelling at Hanauma Bay. It was my first time snorkelling and I am hooked I was in awe of the underwater life. Sure there was a few scrapes from rubbing against the coral but it was well worth it. We have some pictures of that day but it was done with an underwater camera and I apparently was not doing a very good job that day. Of course on the last day we did something I never thought I would do because I am so afraid of heights. We went parasailing. It was really windy that day and the trip out was a little rough but once you were in the air it was nice.

I can not remember how high we went on the parasailing but it was pretty dang HIGH!

What an amazing trip! A week full of fun, good food, nice weather and great company. Thank you Wade and Rebecca for the invite!

A day on the beach.......and those sneaky little crabs!

Today we started out by spending some time on the beach. We swam a little and soaked in the sun. While we were there we noticed these little sand crabs and I was determined to catch one.... YEAH Right! Those things are sneaky little buggers and they are fast! Look at my determination.

When You can't catch crabs what else do you do but pose for Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition. I am still waiting for them to call and tell me I made the cover!

Ater soaking in as much sun as we could and getting kicked off the beach for my indecent posing we went to see a Asian temple. We of course had to stop at the little farm that had that amazing pineapple! The tracker fit right in when I parked it in the tour bus parking only area!

On the way back to the motel we drove around the north shore and luckily we found some large sea turtles warming themselves on the beach. What amazing creatures!

The little blue Tracker...............

We wanted to be able to see more of the island so I decided to go out and rent a car! We did  not want to spend a ton on a rental car so I ended up with this..........the little blue tracker. Thats right no floor boards, no radio, no a/c...equals alot of good times! We took the top off of this bad boy and drove it all around the island. Sure the smell of exhaust was there but the wind blowing through our hair took our minds off of that! Yeah I probably wont be in charge of getting the rental car ever again!

It may have been kind of an ugly car but look at the places that it took us! Breathtaking! Hawaii is incredible!

Day two.... The PCC! Otherwise known as Polynesian Cultural Center!

Today was spent at the Polynesian Cultural Center and I was surprised at how fun this place really is. We walked around and learned about the different groups in the polynesian culture. There was laughter to be had everywhere. We saw the shows, threw oversized lawn darts, weaved plants into fish and watched fire dancing. AMAZING!! It was alot of fun. Wade and I even threw our darts into the little circle and we thought we were kings for the day!

Rebecca was caught listening for the ocean! I love this picture!

While we were there Callie and I went a little CRAZY and got tattoos! I always thought that maybe I would like an armband. After this one I decided i am not the one for a tattoo.

Of course it was Wade and Rebecca's anniversary so we even got Wade to give Rebecca a little smooch while we were there.

A fun fun fun Day!

My first "Big" trip.............Hawaii

Wade and Rebecca asked us to go to Hawaii with them for their tenth anniversary and who are we to say no. Of course we wanted to go and thank goodness we did we loved every minute of it. For me it was even more exciting because it was going to be my first "BIG" trip. I think being from a small town in emery county often times people dont experience many places. I dont know maybe that is me but I can tell you right now my parents still live there and finally after retiring they are getting to see some of the world. Regardless to me Hawaii was a big trip.

Our first day there we went on a submarine adventure where we went down to look at some wreckage and see some of the sea life. It was cool to think you were under the water and seeing things I had never seen before.

It was virtually impossible to get good pictures through those little windows but we gave it a shot!

We also went on a dinner cruise on the boat Atlantis. They take you out in the ocean where you cruise around and eat. We chose to do the sunset dinner and the sunset did not disappoint! Beautiful!!

It was an amazing first day and can not wait for the rest of the week. We have some fun things planned and can not wait to do them!
