Hawaii II, 2018





Favorite food right here... 




Shave ice and shoppin'

Getty skated a local skate park with MK's friend Julian and caught up with us later


Paddleboarding with Julian and the Hackings to see the sea turtles at Haleiwa



 Paddling our way back, we got caught in a big, warm downpour out on the ocean. It was seriously so fun!

Sunday morning we went to church on BYU-H campus with Besser and Julian. One of the members of the bishopric mentioned Elder Bednar's recent visit. Elder Bednar counseled the members regarding our new prophet, Russell M. Nelson, "Get your running shoes on." (At General Conference, Pres. Nelson announced the new ministering program in place of home and visiting teaching, doing away with the high priest quorum and combining with the elders quorum instead, a new temple in Russia among six other places, he's embarking on a global tour at age 93, and we've heard he's heading up a new hymn book... for starters, ha)

After church, our nice leisurely Sunday family hike in the beauty of Oahu took a sketchy turn when MK and Besser led us up past these signs at Crouching Lion...



The kids took off and soon were out of sight and earshot. Rob and I found ourselves climbing straight up the steep mountain in the mud not knowing if we were on a trail or not. Turns out, none of us were on the trail. 

Getty was sure we'd gotten hurt or lost, so he stopped the group and asked MK to say a prayer (that boy!). 

Meanwhile, Rob and I were sure the kids had gotten hurt or lost. So relieved to find each other at the top! 

My question was, how in the world did Cam make that hike?!





With cliffs on either side of us, I was pretty much freaking out and dropped to all fours right after this pic...

On the way down we took the trail 😉

Getty's just so cute! and check out Cy's mane...

So grateful we got to go to Hawaii as a family 🌴  

Back in the mainland, Luis arranged to surprise MK at Kneaders on our way home... 
MK's friends are never far away.
