Hawaii Pictures, Part 4

Alright, well I've gotta say that I'm pretty proud of myself for getting these pictures posted so quick. :o) Maybe I'm getting better at this. Or maybe it's a fluke. :o) anyways, on with the show.

Beautiful hibiscus flowers at one of the stops on the Hana Highway.

So, we stopped at an arboretum along the way, and there was a steep drop off and this was what was at the bottom. Just looking at it freaked me out, because right before you get to this stop there's a sharp curve, so it's definitely not hard to imagine how this happened. *shiver*

The trees were amazing.

These trees were my favorite. they're called Paint Trees (or something like that anyhow) and their color intensifies when they're wet. Lucky for us, it had just poured. :o)

Ugh, these pictures don't do them justice. They were so cool.

Look! People!

The end of the trail.

These orange flowers were so cool. they grow in the tops of the trees though, so unfortunately I couldn't get a close up view.

More Paint Trees. :o)

Aren't these roots cool??? Alaska trees are SO boring.

Lanae`'s potty. Haha, ok not really. It was a joke we had going though. You just had to be there. :o)

I just love this picture. I completely used manual focus on my camera and I love the way it turned out.

Lava rocks

On our way back to the first waterfall, a second time.

Mike swimmin in the water. :o)

On our way to the airport.

Hehe, love my Tori. :o)

Do you see how disgustingly tan mike is?!?!? I mean, I came back pretty tan too, but nothing near what he is - obviously, since I'm standing right next to him in the picture.

Anyways, there you have it. They're all done. :o)

Hawaii Pictures, Part 3

On Monday morning (very early, ugh) we flew to Maui, and stayed there until Tuesday night.

Funny statue outside of the airport. :o)

THE MOST granola town I have EVER been in. Wow.

Driving. In a silver Mustang. Just like on our Honey Moon. Funny. :o)

Would ya look at that, it's me!

We drove the Hana highway (google it, if you wanna know more about it. it's crazy) and stopped here to hike back to a waterfall.

on the trail to the waterfall.

look at the pineapples! I didn't know they grow in the ground. I thought they grew on trees. cool. :o)

I'm not sure what this is or was, but we had to walk over it to get to the waterfall.

Alright, there ya go! :o)

Hawaii Pictures, Part 2

Alright, here are some from when Tori and I went riding. We had SOO much fun. I loved being out there with her. It was so calm and away from the city. It was gorgeous! Totally made me want to get into riding again. I just don't want to...ya know, actually OWN a horse. :o) Anyways, here they are:

Check out the tops of the palm trees in this one. Don't they look cool against the sky? :o)

If this sight isn't Amazing, I don't know what is. this valley is certainly my favorite place on the island.

LOVE the trees there.

It was really cool seeing Tori so in "her element". She's so happy doing this kind of stuff. :o)

Me and Romeo. He didn't live up to his name, if you ask me. ;o)

Mike and I outside of the Crouching Lion restaurant.

Dark picture, but that's all of us. :o)

At the beach on Saturday. We had a great time boogie boarding, and eating, and just laying on the beach. We all got scorched. It was a good day. :o)

Foster and Jason's sand castle. It was pretty cool. :o)

Alright, there ya go. Hope you guys enjoyed them, and hopefully I'll be done with these soon. I have a bunch of random pictures from off of my camera from the past few months that I wanna post. :o) Have a great night everyone! :o)
