Hawaii Day 2

Day 2 was the longest day in history. Rory woke up at her usual AZ time which was 4:15 am in Hawaii and there was no getting her back to sleep. So we were up and dressed and ready by 6:30 in the morning. We relaxed around the house for a little while then went for a drive up the coast. It truly is a beautiful place.

Next we went and drove around BYU Hawaii and went to visit the temple they have on Oahu. It is a really gorgeous building. A lot like our AZ temple with the flat roof.

It was a little windy that day in case you can't tell. You can see all the way to the ocean from the temple steps. It kinda blended in with the sky but trust me you can see the ocean:)
They had these crazy trees all over Hawaii. They were so cool I expected Tarzan to come swinging through the vines at any moment. After our outing we went back and Rory took a nap and Jerame and I spent the rest of the afternoon reading and relaxing by the ocean. Seriously it can not get better than that.
That night we had a memorial service for Jerame's grandma that passed away like 5 years ago. She wanted her ashes scattered in Hawaii. This is Jerame's Great Aunt Diane holding Rory. She was such a good sport letting everyone hold her.
Grandma and Rory. I mean who could resist holding a kid this cute!!! The pastor did a great job and had a really nice message to say. Everyone had these Hawaiian birds of paradise to throw into the water. Everyone had planned to just put their feet in the water but the pastor had another plan and everyone was just shy of waist high in water. It gave a little comic relief to the evening as everyone tried not to get tossed over by a wave. Day two was another fabulous day and I didn't get any sunset pictures for today, aren't you sad:( Just joking I know there are more to come I promise!!!
