April Oahu trip

Getting on the boat to swim with the sharks!

The most worrisome thing was hoping not to get seasick, everyone did fine except Jamie, and Alan didn't even try because he knew he'd get sick.

About 12 galopagos sharks swimming around our cage.

Our group in the cage to see the sharks.

Ate at a great place and had brownie alamode for dessert.

Oh yeah!

Polynesian Cultural Center entrance.

Pineapple smoothies we all got at the luau.

Waiting at our table to go get food at the luau.

The show was awesome, but taking dramamine for the sharks, I couldn't stay awake and missed part of it.

Picture of our whole group. Josh, Ash, Emma, Alan, me, Mira, Liv, Garrett, Jamie, and Brent

Went to Maunawili lookout and it was really windy.

So  pretty

Maunawili Falls trail, we all fell and got so muddy. Josh jumped 30-40 feet into the pool at the end.

On Jamie and Brent's penthouse balcony.

Jamie gave me a 90 minute massage. The lady said I was really tight and had lots of knots.

CLIMB works zipline on the north shore.

8 zip lines and they were a blast!

Walking the bridges between, hauling ourselves up to some platforms, and repelling down to some.

Hang loose.

Eating on the beach at Surf Lanai, very expensive and not that great.

We drove the jeeps up to H2O to parasail 800 feet in the air and at the end they drop you into the ocean and then up onto the back of the boat.

Emma wanted to go with grandpa!

On the boat going out to parasail.

It was so nice to see Hillary, who flew in from North Carolina.

Whitney and Mallory's movie, RECOVERY, went to SXSW film festival and got 3rd place and lots of great reviews. We hope someone buys it and it goes viral!
