Bear Lake Ahoy

We went to the annual Poulsen family reunion last weekend at bear lake...it was a blast.

Nyah has some quality bonding time with Grandma on the beach while we had quality bonding time on the boat :)

We really do love spending time with the Poulsen family they are a riot!!

We stayed at Schrute Farms in the irrigation suite it was a night to remember :)

Nyah Goes to Hawaii...

We spent a week on O'ahu with my family and had a fabulous time. The first half we spent on the North Shore which was really chill and super fun...the last half was spent on Waikiki Beach with the hustle and bustle...Here are some pics

Headed out...

Nyah having breakfast on the beach at our house

Nyahs first dip in the ocean...EVER...well post womb...her and i had some good times playing in the waves and body boarding last summer... no wonder she has to be bounced so hard to get her to sleep :)

We snorkeled at sharks cove and saw a lot of great fish...they were close enough to shore for Nyah to catch a glimpse :)

This is my fam...obviously they really get into this kind of thing :)

Pounders beach was awesome the waves were really big...made for some good body boarding (which ties with wakeboarding as my FAVORITE thing to do in the whole world!)

Unfortunately my Dad read later in his guide book "not to turn your back on the waves at pounders" He got rocked and was left with a REAL SHINER for the rest of the week!

This is Nyah and I swimming at Waimea Bay...she is a real beach baby she loved the waves!! We snorkeled here as well it was really impressive.

Dad's sand castle...from behind it looked like an ant hill and we were making fun of him...but come around to the front and I say strap a blue ribbon to that beauty!! :)

Grandma Dahle and Nyah had a great time playing on the beach together!!

Here is Grandpa and Nyah and a big sea turtle coming up on the beach to bask.

Here is another shot of one...there were a bunch some 35-40 yrs old...they were huge...and had there own body guards on the beach to protect them (literally) We checked them out underwater while snorkeling and using the rocky beach like a water park slide.

Of course we had to make a stop at the PCC Polynesian Cultural Center...we went for the luau and the fire dancing...Nyah loved the drums!

Family shot at the temple.

Pearl Harbor Nyah embarrassed us by going insane in the video.

Family picture time, in order: Dad, Mom, Trevor, Sheralee, Brian, Camille, Darrick, Kellie (my twin), me, Nyah, Derek...my family really is the BEST... We had such a great time!!

Last day at Sandys Beach...The waves were ENORMOUS. My brother got taken out in ankle deep water :) Can't wait for the next trip ;)
