Barbie Movie

 

My amazing boss, Leah Voorhies, set up a movie day for any of the team that wanted to go. She has been calling me "Happy Barbie" for years, so of course we went and saw the Barbie Movie and it was great fun!

Lindsey Cunningham and Emily Berry wore their Barbie Girl attire. 

Dana Archuleta and her partner Stacy came in pink. This is very unusual for Dana.

It truly was a fun event with amazing work friends!

Moving Day

 

Spencer and Angie moved this weekend. I came over to help where I could. Thankfully they were well prepared. 

Sadie and Barrett both rocked the Carmen San Diego Hat found while cleaning out the basement.

Moving is exhausting, but Sadie, Afton, Hazel, and Barrett were troopers.

 

But of course they found ways to take a break!

Beautiful Hawaii

 On our last days in Hawaii we spent time at the beach and the pool. We flew home on the night of October 14th. On our trips to the beach the car was packed!

 On the night of the 13th Dad and Marianne wanted to celebrate there marriage by exchanging rings on the beach. They could not have picked a better night or location!

 Our final sunset was the perfect way to end our trip!

 What an awesome trip with such amazing people! I am truly blessed by my family!

 Brad and Kim are such amazing examples and blessings in my life! So kind of them to invite us on this wonderful adventure!

Beaches, Libraries, Hilo Hattie, and the Temple

 On October 12th we enjoyed a beautiful day at Kekaha Kai Beach. The water was so many colors of blue and the sand was so fine. 

 When we went to a burger place for lunch I saw this sign on the wall and I loved it!

 Of course I found the library, or should I say it found me, haha!

 We did a little shopping and accidentally came upon a Hilo Hatties. We had to take a picture in honor of Mom.

 We went to the Kona Temple and loved the beauty of the nature and spirit found there.

 In the evening we went back to the fishing ponds and to a "secret" pond where fish suck bacteria off your feet. Very cool experience!

Beautiful Hawaii!

Beautiful Waterfalls

 On October 11th I stated the day running through the lava fields. It was really hot, but showed me a whole different side of the island. 

 We then drove around the island to see some beautiful views and amazing waterfalls!

 The first stop was a waterfall with black sand at the shore in the Waipi'o Valley. It was so beautiful!

 We then stopped for some awesome shave ice....

 We then went to Akaka Falls. This is the waterfall used in the movie, Jurassic Park. It falls over 400 feet and is amazing!

 We saw this big tree in a cemetery in Wainaku and just had to stop.

 We ate an AMAZING restaurant called Pineapple in Hilo. I don't usually take pictures of food but this was sooooo good! 

 Our last stop was Rainbow Falls, I got some great shots of the falls and the beautiful nature in the area!

What an amazing experience!
