Aloha! Sunday - Day Eight

This morning we headed back over to the North Shore to attend a ward next to the Temple. We visited the Laie 7th ward, then went across the street to the Visitor's Center and Temple grounds. Such a beautiful place! It was quite warm and humid - a bit much for standing around taking pictures in the sun, but we managed a few.

I think this is the only picture we have of all of us from this whole week!

On the way home, we checked out some of the famous North Shore beaches. There aren't any waves this time of year, as they hit this side of the island in the winter. It started to rain just as we were coming up to Waimea Beach, and wouldn't let up. We were actually hoping to get a little rain this trip as the kids love to play in the rain, especially being so warm. The rain never let up, but that did not stop a determined bunch - in fact it made it all the more exciting . . . plus easier since we didn't have to worry about sunscreen. In this photo, they are standing in the parking lot, holding their new snorkling gear, super excited to check out the beach.
John was taking cover near a building, but they had no hesitation and darted for the water. . . even the baby.

We can't believe we only have one full day left! It has gone way too fast.
