So for those of you who still look at this blog for ideas of things to do in Hawaii here is another thing to think about doing. We climbed Diamond Head last weekend. The climb is relatively short but fairly steep at one point. You have to climb up a fairly steep concrete set of like 150 steps at one point. It is enough that my calves were feeling it when we were done. The cool part is the end where you climb out of an old world war 1 pill box. The Pill boxes were manned during both World War 1 and 2. The view is pretty cool. You can see a nice lighthouse and get a nice look at downtown Honolulu and Waikiki with all the hotels. Those of you thinking of visiting us this fall I recommend getting your tickets purchased soon. Prices are still going up.

We went to Shark's Cove with our friends Steve and Lauren and had a great time. If you are coming to visit us this is definitely something you want to check out. I was really wishing that I was SCUBA diving and could check out some of the caves and arches that we saw in the deeper water. But just in the cove we saw a turtle and tons of fish. The turtle was just coming up to get a breath of air when I took the picture. The pic with the single fish is the State Fish. Humuhumunukunukuapua'a.

Ady and I had some fun taking Kelsey around and showing her some of the highlights of the Island.  We went to Pearl Harbor and then Ady really liked the sunset.  No she is not flipping anyone off.

Big Waves

I just wanted everyone to see what happens when you are in the wrong place when a big wave comes in.  If you zoom in on this photo you'll see people about to get smashed.  And the dude who is trying to run away but is getting sucked up in the pull of the water is pretty funny too.  This is about a 10 foot wave.  

Waimea Bay

This is Waimea bay.  We went there this weekend.   It was a beautiful day and the waves were breaking right at the shore.  We got to watch some nice waves and snorkel in the calm part of the bay.


We jumped off the rock.  the first picture is me and the second one is Kasey.  Ady really wanted to do it too.  The waves were coming in  pretty big at times so we had to time the jumps between sets.  Kasey really liked it.  

WWII Plane wreck

I went diving a couple of weeks ago and got to see this airplane wreck from World War two.  It was pretty cool to see.  The prop is still on it and a big eel lives in the cockpit.  The plane is at 107 feet deep.  

The first picture is  sunset in Haleiwa, and the second is the sunrise at the beach right by our house.
