Our trip to Kona, HI with The Dunkley's!





You all better read this post because it took me FOREVER to download all these flippin pictures! Nate and I just got back from going to hawaii...again! We brought his old childhood friend Robert, his wife Noelle, and his older brother Benjamin and his wife Naleen. We had such a great time. The Big Island is so diverse it had the most AMAZING snorkeling and just had amazing scenery. We got along great, and everyone was always up for an adventure. I was defeinetly the wimp of the group, which is pretty usual. Nate and I always laugh so hard when we are around Robert and his wife. By the end of the trip I decided we would move to Utah and live in there basement! Nate had other thoughts ofcourse! I am still working on him!



This was my favorite beach we went to on the big island. The hotel there is under construction and not open so there was hardly anyone there!




Robert has a bit of a problem with food. I looked over at him and just started laughing. I made him hold his pose and took this picture. Probably the best thing about Robert is his love of junk food..especially candy, so he always had candy for everyone to snack on!



Free Pedicure! We went to these fresh water ponds and stuck are feat in to relax and these little fishies started eating are feet. I know in Japan and New York that people pay for these fish to nibble the dead skin off there feet, to make them nice and smooth. It felt kind of funny, like the fishies were giving you little kisses!


Of course the sunsets were AMAZING!




The Painted Church








We were across the street looking at the church and we noticed the HUGE mango trees across the street. The guy sitting by the church told us to go across the street and ask the ownner if we could pick some...so we did and it turns out it was his house and he kindly let us pick away...












I love watching Nate have a good time. We went to this place called Captain Cooks Monument. You had to kayak over and we seriously snorkeled in the most amazing area. There was a plethora of fish. Some we had never seen before.








Look really close at my legs. The only downfall to Capt Cook Monument was the mosquitos that atacked me and only me. I guess they thought my blood was da bomb...


Da fishies in the water!


My hubby da monkey!


Arch city, North of Honaunau
It was just amazing to watch the water came in the arches and it looked like liitle blowholes. Ill try to post a video below







Thorsten Lava Tube




Nate and everybody but me drove 2.5 hours to see The Volcano. This is as close as they got and they werent thrilled about it. In the pictures it showed people like 3 ft from flowing lava.
