"There's a giant on the beach!"

Dave and I went to the beach -- me with my hopes of seeing turtles in the water -- as the sun was setting yesterday, and we came across a huge sea turtle on the sand! (I made Dave run back home and get the camera.)

How awesome is this?!

(This is me speaking fish.)

Turtle portraits.

People portraits.

Somebody was being a party pooper, and didn't want to play with the turtle.

Fun memories!

Night on the Town

Dave and Ryan planned a double date for their wives, but they surprised us by not telling us what we'd be doing. Those little sneaks!

I was having a little trouble getting the camera to work.

After a quick dinner at The Cheesecake Factory, we headed off to our activity:
Watching the play "Les Miserables" at the Diamond Head Theater!

Brandi and I were both very surprised, and we all loved it!

This is Ryan and Brandi's interpretation of the music.

Yea for Les Mis!

Such a fun night! We girls can't wait for the next one! :)

Making Waves

We needed a day to ourselves, so we did a little shopping, then hit the beach!

There's nothing like a near-death experience to bring a couple closer together. :) We had fun. I think next time, though, we won't be so quick to go so far out in a rip current!

For the Saturday afternoon session of General Conference, we were invited to the Lang's house, along with a few other couple from our ward. It was fun! After Conference, we hung out on the beach right outside their house!

That's me! Isn't the water so beautiful and clear?

Some of the other people in our ward.

This is boogie boarding, or bodyboarding, as the professionals call it. Aren't I so hard core in the gigantic 50-foot waves?

There were actually sea turtles swimming with us in the water! I came up on the beach, and Dave said there was one right behind me! I don't know if you can see it, but it's the dark blob just to the right of me in the picture.
