Update

Soooo all out of picture storage....
lame
until I decide what to do about that
here's a brief update on our goings on

Casey is working at a family practice clinic in Glennallen
which is 3 hrs north of here, they are providing a house for us
so we've been traveling up there during the week
and coming home on the weekends. This is just a temporary job until Casey finds something close to home
I'm getting very tired of this and am doing my best to get Casey to just
find a job already!! Really to just pick one already, as we have a few options.
Hopefully only a couple more weeks of travel, possibly another month
and then we can settle back down and enjoy the Alaska summer!

Which seems to be very close at hand....no more snow on our decks
and mud puddles in the back yard, woohoo for spring!

Hanauma Bay and Hawaii Kai

Sorry if your getting tired of these posts.....last one of Hawaii :)

Our very last night we drove out to Hanauma Bay. We were too late to make it to
the beach so we stopped on top of the hill and watched the 
sunset over Hawaii Kai.
The trip was absolutely amazing and nowhere near long enough for me.....
I would definitely recommend  staying outside of Honolulu if you ever make it out
to Ohau, being outside of the hussle and bussle of the city was great,
all though it was cool to see all the shops of things that I've only ever seen in magazines :)
The people there are so friendly and were so fun to be around
Goodbye beautiful warmth, sand and ocean!













Just Bumming Around

Kisses for Daddy

This was by far the girls most favorite activity....
Snorkeling on "our beach"

Casey in action...I love this feature on my camera :)





On our last night we decided to try out the pool....
it was much colder than the ocean! so we didn't last very long :)

Shark Tours and Whales

 Beautiful sunrise on the way to the shark cage. We had to go on separate days, these pics 
are from Casey's morning

 A Boobi bird (I have no idea if that's the correct spelling) he would just sit
on top of the cage and watch us
 A whale blow hole!!
 a back
 a tail



It was so awesome to get in the water with the sharks. They were galapagus sharks, about 7 to 11 feet
long. They were so close, Casey was crazy and reached out and touched one of the back fins!!

Seeing the whales was pretty awesome too, we got to see a couple of them jump
out of the water, we're excited to see them up here in Alaska in the summer :)

Laie Hawaii Temple

 This was the most beautiful stop on our trip, but maybe that's
because the girls were asleep in the car :)












The history of this temple is so neat, the missionary couple that was at the 
visitor center were from Utah, they showed us the video on how the church
did so much for the people here. Neat, neat, neat. They had a trivia game about temple
geography and I totally beat Casey, hehehehehe.
I love the temple, you can learn more about it here or here if you want :)
