Surprise Party!!! Zach's Big 3-0!

The Theme . . . "Old Western"

The Place . . . a "Movie Set"

The Director . . . Our Birthday Boy

SURPRISE!

These are our serious faces. We're pretending to be in jail.

Diamondhead Hike

This is at the base of the hike. You get a clear shot of Koko Head.

 

Oops! Lost my lens cap.

Great view from up top!

 

 

What a handsome man!

 

 

 

Creepy.

A typical Zach pose. Look at those Big STRONG muscles!

 

Golom.

Those cheeks are bite-able.

 

The lone palm.

Kauai, The Garden State

 

 

I love tropical flowers.

This is the beach just outside our room. Strong warning signs for such tiny waves.

 The pool at the condo we were staying in.

Chillin' before a long day of exploring the island.

This guy was not happy to see us.

 

I didn't expect to see so much open land on such a tiny island.

 

I guess you can never be too careful.

Cowabunga, DUDE! Haha, do people even say that these days?

  The view from the side of the road.

These falls were just off the main highway. I love the intense color of the dirt.

It's a good thing they had a sign. I was seriously considering sticking my head under that faucet and taking a swig. You should have seen the rest of the bathroom. Gross.

The little grand canyon. It's kind of hard to imagine that this is in the middle of such a small island. AMAZING!

PICTURES!!!

This was soon after we moved to Waikiki. Our friend took these pictures for us near Diamondhead. The sun was shining directly into our eyes.

  

Ah, my family, all bundled up on a crisp April morning. Springtime shouldn't be this cold. This was at our graduation in April 2008, just before we moved to the beautiful, warm rainbow state.

You can tell we still lived in Utah at the time with our Vampire-white glow. Even then we had aloha spirit.

This is the picture we used for our graduation announcements.

This was taken on the beach near the Marriott on Big Island.

This is at the lookout point overlooking Waipio Valley on Big Island--one year before we moved to O'ahu.

 

This was one week after we moved to Hawaii. My sister and her friend came to visit. We were on our way to the beach on North Shore. No more vampire-white glow. :)
