Hawaii Part 2

We just got back from Hawaii! It was my first time... definately not my last! We left the kids with my mom and sisters for the week and we had such a great time (minus a couple of "panic attacks" about being away from the kids.... I am not used to that, it was my first time EVER leaving them for more than a few hours). We stayed at Turtle bay... it's one of the only resorts on the North Shore and it is BEAUTIFUL! We decided on Turtle bay because it was the closest resort to Glenns parents house (they are serving a mission at the PCC).
The view from our room! It was gorgeous! I highly recommend Turtle bay...

We did some hiking... Glenn at Waimea Falls



We also did a lot of exploring in the Jeep we rented... Glenn LOVED having a Jeep in Hawaii.



The REAL reason we went was to attend Glenns sisters wedding! Mailelei and Bryan were married on Saturday June 27th... it was a gorgeous beachside wedding. They both looked so happy and beautiful!





The reception was off the hook! They had fire dancers, slap dancers, hula dancers, drummers, knife dancers, a singer, and yummy food! It was such a fun reception! Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Penn! We love you and are so happy for you!
